In an on-line reading experiment, we investigated the cognitive load associated with the processing of new arguments in expository texts. Three different reading conditions were used: recall, comprehension, and free reading. There were retention tests in the recall and comprehension conditions but not in the free reading condition. Generally, processing times increased with an increase in the cumulative number of new arguments in a sentence. This effect was qualified by an interaction with task and location. When the task required that the reader retrieve the information, the effect was greater at sentence-final than at nonboundary words. Thus, when the representation is constructed to maximize effective retrieval, as in the recall condition and to some extent in the comprehension condition, subjects allocate a greater amount of cognitive resources to processing new arguments at the sentence boundary than at nonboundary locations. These results are interpreted as supporting a buffer view of intersentence integration.
