Concept

Measuring discourse-level processes with verbal protocols and latent semantic analysis - measuring reading comprehension: multiple choice questions

Multiple choice questions do not sufficiently test for discourse-level processes because the test is administered after the whole text is read
Multiple choice questions do not usually test for deep understanding and thus fails to measure long-term learning
If readers can read questions before the passage, it affects what they are able to retain
Some standardized tests allow students to answer questions without even reading the passages
