Purpose In this epilogue, we review the 4 response articles and highlight the implications of a multidimensional view of reading for the assessment and instruction of reading comprehension. Method We reiterate the problems with standardized tests of reading comprehension and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of recently developed authentic tests of reading comprehension. In the "Instru...

Students have trouble using and interpreting topographic maps. Experienced map-users identify patterns of contour lines representing topographic structures and visualize that information in 3D. Novices struggle with both recognizing 2D patterns and visualizing 3D structures from contour lines. In this study, the Pattern Identification group received instruction focused on identifying contour pa...

The paper presents a novel strategy aimed at modeling the instruction energy consumption of 32-bits microprocessors. The proposed instruction-level pow er model is founded on a functional decomposition of the activities accomplished by a generic microprocessor and exhibits signi cant generalization capabilities. It allows estimation of the pow er gures of the en tire instruction-set starting fr...
