20、),高夫,(Gough,1972),于,1972,年提出自下而上的阅读模式,用以描述从看到文字符号到理解文字意义为止的整个阅读过程。他完全从信息加工的观点来解释阅读的全过程,即从低级的字母加工发展到高级的词组、句子以及语义加工的过程。,自下而上模式,(Bottom-up model),自下而上模式,(Bottom-up model),在阅读过程中存在着两类信息,:,一类是直接从字母或单词的视觉完形中得到的知识信息,,另一类是读者的头脑中对单词或词组已有的知识经验所提供的高级信息。前者称为视觉信息,后者称为非视觉信息,自下而上模式,(Bottom-up model),高夫的模式虽然包括了视觉信息
21、和非视觉信息的作用,但本质上是由一系列自下而上的加工,通过依次转换的过程构成的。任何低一级的输入信息,都转换到高一级水平,并在高一级水平上得到加工。低级水平的信息加工不受高级水平加工对它的影响。因此,这是一种自下而上的阅读理解模式,在这一模式中,没有两种信息的相互作用,而只有一种自下对上的单向作用,即任何水平上的信息加工只对随后一级的信息加工产生直接影响。当我们的背景知识少时,或作者的观点不同于一般观点时,我们往往采用自下而上的阅读模式。,自上而下模式,(Top-down model),古德曼,(Goodman),于,1976,年提出一个自上而下的模式。,他反对把阅读看成是对一系列词的知觉,,
22、他认为人们在阅读过程中,通常利用自己已有的语言知识和有关的经验对文章进行认知加工。,他强调阅读是一种选择过程,即读者从所有可能获得的文字线索中,尽量以最少的语言线索对语言的意思进行加工,以形成暂时的判断和对下文的预测,这种判断与预测随着阅读的深入而得到证实、拒绝或进一步提炼。,古德曼认为阅读就是这样一种语言心理学的猜测游戏,它并非一个精确的知觉过程和系列的加工过程,而是一个选择过程和预测过程。当我们要了解文章的主题、作者的意图、预测下文时往往采用自上而下模式。,交互作用模,(Interactive model),它是,1977,年由鲁梅哈特,(Rumelhart),提出的,目前对阅读教学影响最
23、大的是交互作用模式。他认为阅读是一个自下而上和自上而下加工相互作用的过程。这种信息的汇总,有视觉的加工和认知的加工,而,认知加工,是这种阅读模式的关键。视觉加工需要视觉信息,即文字。认知加工需要非视觉信息,即读者头脑中的知识结构或称之为,图式,(schema),。,交互作用模,(Interactive model),人的大脑中还有四个储存库,即表音法知识、构词法知识、句法知识和语义学知识。他们能影响我们对文字的知觉。,人在阅读时,头脑就象一个信息加工中心,不断地搜索外界输入的信息,上述四个知识库对输入的信息不断地扫描。大脑一方面对视觉扫到的信息从低级阶段向高级阶段进行加工处理,依次经过表音法、
24、词法、句法、语义的加工,最终达到理解。另一方面,信息处理也沿相反的方向运行,即沿着高级阶段向低级阶段的方向处理信息。读者利用大脑中已有的背景知识和语言知识,对视觉扫到的信息进行加工并提出假设。这时的加工是自上而下的,最先用语义学知识进行验证,然后依次用句法知识、构词法知识和表音法知识进行分析,并对先前的假设加以肯定或予以否定。交互作用模式认为阅读中的信息加工是从高、低两个方向同时进行的,即每一阶段的知识分析既有来自高级阶段,也有源于低级阶段的分析,只有当低级阶段和高级阶段的信息加工吻合时,才产生令人满意的正确理解。否则,假设就要重新修改或建立,直至两种信息吻合。,交互作用模,(Interact
25、ive model),交互作用模式实质上是一种自下而上和自上而下的两种信息的综合加工模式。在感觉信息匮乏的情况下,人们必须借助大脑中储存的背景知识对刺激做出解释,这时的阅读过程主要是自上而下的加工。反之,则以自下而上的加工为主。这一模式能够说明高夫和古德曼模式所无法解释的大量的阅读问题。,低层阅读能力,理解各种语法概念;,理解主从句的句法结构;,理解句段的标志;,理解词汇和,/,或语法的连贯关系;,理解词汇的意义。,高层阅读能力,掌握所读材料的主旨和大意;,了解阐述主旨的事实和细节;,根据上下文判断某些词汇和语法意义;,理解上下文的逻辑关系;,根据所读材料进行一定的判断、推论;,领会作者的观点
