Viewpoints: Transaction Versusb Interaction—A Terminological Rescue Operation

Louise M. Rosenblatt

Abstract

This article differentiates the usages of transaction and interaction as reflections of differing paradigms. The transactional theory of reading is dissociated from information-processing and interactive processing. The implications for research of various concepts basic to the total transactional theory of reading are discussed.
