A comparison of cognitive processing during cloze and multiple-choice reading tests using brain activation 80454768 Mizumoto, Atsushi 水本, 篤 00425323 Ikeda, Maiko 池田, 真生子 40206941 Takeuchi, Osamu 竹内, 理 本論文の著作権は全国英語教育学会に属する cloze test クローズ　テスト Reading リーディング Multiple-choice 多肢選択 NIRS ニルス brain 脳 関西大学（Kansai University） This study compares cognitive processing and cerebral activation during a cloze test to a multiple-choice reading test. Data were obtained through an innovative neuroimaging technique (near-infrared spectroscopy, NIRS) and stimulated recall interviews. Fifteen Japanese EFL (English as a foreign language) learners participated. Greater brain activation was observed in the cloze condition than in the multiple-choice condition. Individual variation in degree of cerebral activation was also found and further examined by referencing the stimulated recall interviews. Pedagogical and research implications are provided, especially emphasizing that practitioners and researchers should exercise caution and informed judgment when they use cloze tests.
