EFFECT OF CULTURE, OF GABONESE SUB-CULTURES ON TEXT COMPREHENSION
A determining factor in cognitive activities (Boudechiche et Hana, 2015; Retschitzki, 2011), this study tests the effect of culture; Fang and Punu subcultures; on the comprehension process. Two tales « les trois fils d’Ada » and « Didi et Yibingitibingiti » culturally Fang and Punu were presented to the participants according tho their relationship to these cultures. Reading is followed by three comprehension tasks. The results show an effect of subcultures on comprehension performances. The cognitive investment depends on the cultural origin of the reader and the coherence between that one and the tales.
