- 5. Neurologist now know much about seeing. They show how the eye registers pictures of objects and how the brain electrically interprets these pictures. 5
- 6. It is up to psychologists, however , to show how the “I” behind the eyes see by way of knowing. It therefore appears that the eyes only see patches of color and light. It is the mind that says what's something is. Isn't it therefore interesting to know more about how the mind works during a reading activity? 6
- 7. READING AS A COGNITIVE PROCESS 7
- 8. Similar to the neuro-physiological aspect in reading, the mental or cognitive process in the perception of meaning , also known as comprehension, is also complex. 8
- 9. TWO STEPS INVOLVED IN Reading Comprehension: 1. The extraneous process creates a stimulus on the visual centers of the brain. This consists in two essential aspects: a. word recognition or the written symbols b. attentive adjustment by the reader on these symbols. 2. Fusion/ interpretation/ construction of meaning by the mind out of the stimuli. 9
- 10. Other complex processes include: Immediate arousal of association in recognition of the written symbols --- their pronunciation, vocabulary meaning, context, etc. Other stimuli inclusive of kinesthetic or auditory These stimuli are distributed to brain centers (instinct, feelings, imagination, reason, abstract intelligence, will) Synthesis or the fusion of related inputs from brain centers resulting in the recognition of the meaning of the printed symbols 10
- 11. In other words, scientists have described the cognitive process in reading: “Selecting and combining relevant items of experience that are implied by the immediate context, by the author’s mood, tone, or intention, and by everything the reader knows that makes clear the meaning of the passage”( Richards). 11 Jundie Marc E. Diego
- 12. “Selecting the right elements of the situation and putting together in the right relations and also with the right amount of weight of influence or force for each” (Thorndike). • Analyzing these mental activities, reading experts have also highlighted such act as observation, data judgment, recall, imagination, problem recognition, judgment, analysis, etc. 12
- 13. Levels of Comprehension 1. LITERAL -knowing what is read as is (who, what, when, where,) 2. INTERPRETATIVE - what is read combined with one’s subjective ideas 3. APPLIED - forming opinions and applications 4. EVALUATIVE –judgment on the reading material such as the information on data, the event, persons involved, etc. 13
- 14. Higher comprehension skills are characterized by: 1. Self-awareness 2. Careful reading and greater retention 3. Making previous assumptions or hypothesis 4. The deliberate and combined ability to reflect, question, classify, summarize, and predict 5. Information reading which gives attention to SQ3R 14
- 15. What is SQ3R? 15 Survey question Read, Recite, Review 3R Q
- 16. Quiz 1. It refers to the reading as a process that involves conscious mental activities. 2. It is also known as the mental or cognitive process in the perception of meaning. 3. It creates a stimulus on the visual centers of the brain. 4. The first level of comprehension, it is knowing what is read as is (who, what, when, where,) 5. It is the third level of comprehension where you can form opinions and applications. 6. It is the highest level of comprehension, where judgment on the reading material takes place such as the information on data, the event, persons involved, etc. 16
