“…Conversely, studies [14,25] obtained positive effect of prior knowledge only on the text based representation. However, others studies showed positive effects on both levels of representation [38,39].…”

“…The selection of a link is a crucial cognitive task because the comprehension may be affected by the level of coherence between the initial text section and the target text section [14,16]. Linear and hierarchical structures help readers to select coherent links leading them to follow to systematic reading orders of the structure [14,[17][18][19].…”

“…Whereas following high coherent reading orders lead low prior knowledge readers to high comprehension scores, following low coherent reading orders lead high prior knowledge to high comprehension scores [14,15]. Prior knowledge supplies resources to conduct inferences in orders to fill in coherence gaps between text sections (i.e.…”

“…Whether readers have to process semantic relations between text section to make decision and to follow a reading order, they are also involved in processing the semantic relations to construct a representation of the contents structure [10,11]. Although more and more studies consider coherence issues in reading orders [12][13][14][15], clues about the processes engaged in construction of a representation of the contents structure are less investigated. In sum, to understand the information conveyed by a hypertext, readers would have to establish semantic relations between the nodes and to construct a representation of the semantic hypertext structure.…”

An exploratory experiment was carried out in order to question the relationships between prior knowledge, comprehension performance, on-line processes and disorientation in a non-linear document (hypertext). 14 participants read a non-linear document about a virus' infectiousness process which imposed to learners to construct themselves their reading orders and also a structure of the document. Correlational analyses were conducted to test the relations between the variables. Results indicated that the prior knowledge was positively correlated with the learning performance, the coherence of the reading orders, and negatively with the time spent to construct a document structure. Correlations between the prior knowledge and the disorientation indicated a marginal negative relation. The results stressed also significant correlations between the on-line processes and the comprehension performance. Interestingly, the observed correlations between the on-line processes and the disorientation suggested that the disorientation was function of difficulties to construct the document structure rather than difficulties to construct a reading order. The present study highlighted how prior knowledge constitutes resources to process non-linear documents and what type of on-line processes are related to disorientation.

Successful Internet reading requires making strategic decisions about what texts to read and a sequence for reading them, all in accordance with readers’ goals. In this paper, we describe the process of realizing and constructing potential texts as an important and critical part of successful Internet reading and use verbal report data to examine such strategic actions by readers in the complex environments of the Internet. We focus on Amalie (pseudonym), a participant in a study of adolescents’ Internet reading strategy use. Amalie's verbal reports describe representative cognitive and metacognitive processes that strategic high‐school readers use as they negotiate the Internet to locate, choose, and use multiple sources. We conclude with a consideration of classroom implications in the era of Common Core State Standards for helping students become accomplished Internet readers.
