Abstract	The presented study aims at assessing the impact of modelling textual structures on knowledge transfer. 20 students of English and American Studies of Graz University, who were on the linguistic level C1, took part in a reading test series in which they had to read a linear text on the topic "How does the human brain work?" The participants were tested on a recall and a reading comprehension task. In a pre-test the number of propositions had been determined by test readers. The experimental group was provided with a linear text (457 words) and an additional networked supertext. This supertext was created by applying the principle of cognitive plausibility to linear texts. The principle of cognitive plausibility refers to the ability to restructure one's knowledge in adaptive response to changing situational demand. The supertext restructured the original text by keeping the original question-answer pattern of the linear text and outlining its informational structure i.e. the macropropositions with their respective micropropositions in form of flow charts. The flow charts displayed the semantic structure of the text as a network of propositions. The control group only got the linear text. In accordance with the principle of cognitive plausibility, which so far has mainly been attributed to hypertexts, it was assumed that the supertext would facilitate the building of networked knowledge structures and the integration of new knowledge. The results of this pilot study suggest that the modelling of textual structures based on the principle of memory structures has a positive effect on both knowledge transfer and recall of propositions. A recognition posttest, which was conducted one week later, confirmed the results of the first test series. The group who had worked with the networked supertext also reached higher scores in the recognition test. (Verlag, adapt.).
