Abstract
Reading has been studied for decades by a variety of cognitive disciplines, yet no theories exist which sufficiently describe and explain how people accomplish the complete task of reading real-world texts. In particular, a type of knowledge intensive reading known as creative reading has been largely ignored by the past research. We argue that creative reading is an aspect of practically all reading experiences; as a result, any theory which overlooks this will be insufficient. We have built on results from psychology, artificial intelligence, and education in order to produce a functional theory of the complete reading process. The overall framework describes the set of tasks necessary for reading to be performed. Within this framework, we have developed a theory of creative reading. The theory is implemented in the ISAAC (Integrated Story Analysis And Creativity) system, a reading system which reads science fiction stories.
几十年来,各种认知学科对阅读进行了研究,但没有理论能够充分描述和解释人们如何完成阅读现实世界文本的完整任务。特别是一种被称为创造性阅读的知识精读,在很大程度上被过去的研究所忽视。我们认为创造性阅读是几乎所有阅读体验的一个方面;因此,任何忽视这一点的理论都是不够的。我们以心理学、人工智能和教育的结果为基础,提出了完整阅读过程的功能理论。整个框架描述了执行读取所需的一组任务。在这个框架内,我们发展了创造性阅读理论。该理论在ISAAC (Integrated Story Analysis And Creativity)系统中得以实现,ISAAC是一个阅读科幻小说的阅读系统。
