Abstract | A study investigated the effects of inserting questions in a computer-mediated text that required readers to review relevant portions of the text when a question was answered incorrectly. Undergraduate students (n=36) served as their own controls while reading a scientific text under 3 treatment conditions that varied as to the consequences of an incorrect response to a question. Participants spent proportionately more time reviewing target paragraphs directly relevant to inserted questions when mandatory review was linked to answering the same as opposed to a different question after a review cycle. A statistically significant interaction between treatment and question type on a posttest indicated that participants' scores were higher on repeated inferential questions and lower on new literal questions when review cycles were followed by a different question. Findings suggest that varying the contingencies associated with responses to questions inserted in computer-mediated texts may affect readers' strategies and consequently the information recalled.
