Comprehension monitoring: helps detect a problem that has occurred if we don"t construct meaning. Attend actively, to be response, and to anticipate stimuli. Invent syntax from the language of the environment. Information processing can be divided into 4 steps: Attention: automatic activation of the brain, orientation that focuses awareness and focus.
