    "abstract": "Learning from expository science texts is challenging. These\nstudies explore whether difficulties can be attributed to poor\nmemory or poor reasoning. To eliminate the need for memory\nduring testing, some students took the tests with the texts\navailable. To test for the effects of reasoning on performance,\nsome students were prompted to engage in explanation\nactivities during or after reading. The effects of these\nmanipulations were tested on text-based and inference\nquestions. Allowing the reader access to the texts during testing\nimproved performance for text-based questions. In contrast,\nengaging in explanation activities during reading improved\nperformance on inference questions. These results suggest that\nachieving a better understanding from expository texts depends\non engaging in constructive reasoning processes, and not\nsimply improving memory for the texts.",
