  • Abstract
    Cognitive support for conceptual acquisition through reading is quite limited in current computer-supported reading environments. In this paper, we describe a new approach, the CogTool, to support the cognitive processes associated with reading. It involves the use of semantic structures and related functions to support the cognitive operations of interpretation through to the acquisition and integration of new concepts into existing knowledge.
