@article { , title = {Perspective effects during reading: evidence from text change-detection}, abstract = {We report two text change-detection studies in which we investigate the influence of reading perspective on text memory. In Experiment 1, participants read from the perspective of one of two characters in a series of short stories, and word changes were either semantically close or distant. Participants correctly reported more changes to perspective-relevant than -irrelevant words, and for distant than close changes. However, distance and perspective did not interact, suggesting that adopting a particular perspective did not lead to a more fine-grained analysis of perspective-relevant information. In Experiment 2, participants read one long narrative from the perspective of either a burglar or house-buyer. Results showed that only participants with a low working memory span showed perspective effects, suggesting that individual differences in working memory capacity appear to influence processing of perspective-relevant information.}, doi = {10.1080/0163853X.2017.1330020}, eissn = {1532-6950}, issn = {0163-853X}, issue = {2}, journal = {Discourse Processes}, publicationstatus = {Published}, publisher = {Routledge}, url = {https://nottingham-repository.worktribe.com/output/867479}, volume = {55}, keyword = {Language comprehension, reading, perspective, text change-detection}, author = {Bohan, Jason and Filik, Ruth} }
