“Finding Answers” addresses the information you need to answer questions. The chapter starts by suggesting a basic work flow for gathering material. It then moves on to consider where to look for that material; specifically, the information sources that can be accessed both virtually and by reaching out into the real world. These include everything from keywords, technical literature, patents, intellectual property, the trade press, annual reports, conferences, lab visits, industry roadmaps, industry blogger, books, and more. For each one, the chapter discusses not only what each source can offer and which questions they are most likely to answer but also their strengths, their weaknesses, and common pitfalls in using them.

Fantasy-text is a genre in which events routinely violate rules we know to be true in the real world. In four experiments, we explored the inherent contradiction between unrealistic fictional events and general world knowledge (GWK) to examine these competing information sources within the context of an extended fantasy-narrative. Experiments 1a and 1b demonstrated that fantasy-unrelated inconsistencies caused disruption to comprehension despite an abundance of contextual support for real-world impossible events that violate GWK. Experiment 2a demonstrated that fantasy-related inconsistencies caused disruption when they occurred at the local level and the fantasy-context stood in direct opposition to the target sentence. However, Experiment 2b demonstrated that disruption can be initially eliminated when readers encountered fantasy-related violations at the global level, but delayed-processing difficulty occurred on the spillover sentence, downstream of the target sentence. All four experiments are discussed within the context of the RI-Val model.

This article presents some streamlined and intentionally oversimplified ideas about educating future communication disorders professionals to use some of the most basic principles of evidence-based practice. Working from a popular five-step approach, modifications are suggested that may make the ideas more accessible, and therefore more useful, for university faculty, other supervisors, and future professionals in speech-language pathology, audiology, and related fields.
