Kintsch’s Construction-Integration Model (1998) contends that the initial developmental phase of the mental model of an individual occurs primarily based upon the words in the context, in a bottom-up manner. The individual then combines this linguistic information into propositions, which generally occurs at the conclusion of leach clause in the text. If listeners are not provided with a sufficient supply of vocabulary knowledge to rely upon when decoding text, it only stands to reason that they may resort to counterproductive problem-solving processes such as uneducated guesses or diverted textual reconstruction (Kintsch, 2005). In contrast, the provision of an adequate number of lexical items not only facilitates greater accuracy in textual decoding, it also helps free up cognitive space for more effective higher level processing such as the utilization of prior knowledge to resolve ambiguities and contradictions in the mental model of the listener
