本研究调查了一组大学生完成标准化阅读理解测试的策略。26名学生被随机分配到一个内省的采访中，在这个采访中，受试者向研究人员解释他们在阅读测试段落和回答多项选择题时所做的事情和思考，或者回顾性采访，在这个采访中，学生不间断地完成测试，然后向研究人员讲述他们是如何完成任务的。数据分析的结果是确定了三大类处理行为：一个整体的方法来测试任务，阅读策略，和考试策略。此外，还查明了受试者遇到的困难。结果表明，在每个主题的方法来测试的共同元素是一个重点尽快得到的问题，然后使用的问题，以指导搜索的通道，找到最好的信息来回答问题。这些结果对更好地理解应试行为和阅读之间的关系的影响进行了讨论。
This study investigated the strategies a group of college students used to complete a portion of a standardized reading comprehension test. Twenty-six students were randomly assigned to either an introspective interview, in which the subjects explained to a researcher what they were doing and thinking as they read the test passages and answered the multiple-choice questions, or a retrospective interview, in which the students completed the test without interruption and then recounted for the researcher how they had gone about the task. Data analysis resulted in the identification of three broad categories of processing behavior: an overall approach to the test task, reading strategies, and test-taking strategies. In addition, difficulties encountered by the subjects were identified. Results indicate that the common element in each subject's approach to the test was a focus on getting to the questions as quickly as possible and then using the questions to direct a search of the passage to locate the best possible information to answer the questions. The implications of these results for better understanding the relationship between test-taking behavior and reading are discussed.
