Narrative Comprehension: Concept Analysis and a Methodological Proposal (Preprint)

Conceptual analysis is a methodological branch of scientific research. Most psychological concepts originated in ordinary language. Although a concept often changes when it becomes part of a scientific theory, analysis of its original logical functioning is a precondition for understanding and evaluating conceptual changes. In this study, we analyse the logical functioning of the concept of comprehension, using techniques of Ordinary Language Philosophy. We present as central logical characteristics of the concept: (1) comprehension is an achievement concept; (2) there can be different degrees of comprehension; (3) comprehension is a polymorphous concept and (4) it is a dispositional concept. We discuss the methodological and theoretical implications of this analysis for narrative comprehension and illustrate them with a proposal for assessment.
