Understanding how readers construct a coherent memory representation of text requires that in addition to measuring the outcome of the comprehension processes after reading, processes that occur during the course of reading need to also be examined. Methodological advancements in measuring online comprehension processes have been crucial for theoretical development (Lorch & van den Broek, 1997). For example, eye tracking has provided important information about how readers interact with text (Rayner, 1998, 2009), and as this technology has become more accessible and easy to use, it has proven its utility in exploring people’s comprehension of connected discourse.
