Supporting older adults for their reading comprehension of procedural sentences -Analysis of signaling effects-

技术写作者经常通过在程序句之间插入空格和标题等信号来突出程序句的顶层结构，以使指令的结构清晰。呈现这些信号被称为信号。信号对老年人阅读理解的影响还没有被研究过。但是，以往的研究表明，信号传递使组织策略向更复杂的策略转变，这种中介作用促进了老年人对组织策略的阅读理解和记忆（策略转换假说）。根据这一假设，当使用促进策略改变的信号时，它们可以支持老年人对程序性句子的阅读和记忆。本研究通过对老年人手势效应的研究，探讨了手势的外显性对老年人手势效应的影响，并探讨了手势的认知老化机制 ...更多信息 对老年人程序性句子记忆的影响。我们可以操作信号的显式水平，尽管有许多类型的信号。根据外显水平的不同，实验被试可以分为三组：无外显组、低外显组和高外显组。本研究的目的是探讨认知老化的机制，即信号的不同外显程度如何促进阅读理解过程中策略的改变，从而提高老年人对程序句的阅读理解和记忆。研究二对非外显组和高外显组进行了比较。基于这两项研究，将每项发现进行整合。在此基础上，探讨了不同信号传导方式对老年人程序性语句记忆影响的认知老化机制。少

Technical writers often highlight the top-level structure of procedural sentences by means of signals such as spacing and headings inserted between them in order to make the structure of instructions clear. Presenting these signals is called as signaling. Signaling effects on reading comprehension with older adults have not been studied yet. But, the previous studies related to this theme suggest that signaling changes organizational strategies into more sophisticated ones and this mediation promotes reading comprehension and memory of them by older adults (Strategy Switch Hypothesis). According to this hypothesis, when signals promoting that strategy changes are used, they can support older adults for their reading and memory of procedural sentences. From the study conducted to perform this object, the mechanism of signing effects with older adults can be made clear.This study investigated the effect of explicitness of signals in order to consider the cognitive aging mechanism of sign … More aling effects on older adults' memory of procedural sentences. We could operate the explicitness levels of signaling, though there are many types of signaling. According to levels of explicitness, experimental participants could be divided into three groups : No-Explicitness Group, Low-Explicitness Group, and High-Explicitness Group. The object of this study is to investigate the cognitive aging mechanism how different explicitness of signaling promotes strategy changes during reading comprehension processes and this mediation increases reading comprehension and memory of procedural sentences by older adults.In the Study 1, comparison between No-Explicitness Group and Low-Explicitness Group was made. In the study 2, comparison between No-Explicitness Group and High-Explicitness Group was made. Based on these two studies, each finding was integrated. After that, the cognitive aging mechanism how different signaling has effects on memory of procedural sentences by older adults was investigated. Less
