  1. Embedding computers in books to improve spatial situation models: one theoretical and one applied study Glenn Gordon Smith

  2. Situation models text narratives PICTS

  3. Context – 2 studies Patent pending 12059210

  4. Study 1

  5. Study 1 Independent variables – reading conditions 1) Contingent accountable – popup queries 2) Non-contingent accountable – popup queries 3) Control

  6. Study 1 46 UGs read 3 short narratives, within subject

  7. Study 1 Dependent variablestime - Spatial discontinuity sentences Spatial Multiple choice posttest w/ map

  8. Study 1 Mean SD Control .561 .223 Non-contingent Accountable .639 .213 Contingent Accountable .648 .214 ANOVA ( 1, 45) = 4.02, p < 0.02]. Results Posttest Mean SD Control .561 .223 Acc. (Cont & Non-cont) .643 .183 t(45) = 2.71, p < .01 (one-tailed), d = .48.

  10. Study 2 Field Test – fifth graders

  11. Reading is in Decline Internet and Video GamesNegative Attitudes toward ReadingWhy is this situation critical?

  12. 70% struggling readers 6 – 12 grade

  13. Study 2 Resurrecting Books

  14. Our Solution • Situation Models – readers’ Internal Representations • Interactive Maps + hardcopy books

  15. How It Works Patent pending 12059210
