This paper describes the twinned passages method for capturing text art. 10 pairs of original and revised U.S. Army instructional texts were tested for reproduction. The revised texts were generally more effective. The recall differences were shown to correlate with the differences in the amount of signalling applied in the original and revised versions.

The central finding of this study is that the revised versions were retained better than the originals and that the improved signalling of text structure correlated with the improvements in recall of the revised versions.
