SERRANO-MORENO, Stella    TINTO ARANDES, Jaime. Forgotten Effects of Cognitive/Discursive Operations in the Epistemic Writing of Doctoral Research Questions. []. , 28, 96, pp.277-304.   05--2023. ISSN 1405-6666.

This study is based on a cognitive approach to writing, with emphasis on its processual nature and the cognitive/discursive operations activated by doctoral students during the collaborative revision of doctoral research questions in education. The participants were experts in scientific writing who identified underlying descriptors in discourse analysis. Once the cognitive/discursive operations had been recognized, the concept of incidences was applied to discover the unidentified descriptors, based on the theory of forgotten effects. The results show descriptors of hidden cognitive/discursive operations: intertextuality and formulation of writing objectives that must be considered relevant due to their high level of cognitive incidence and their key importance in the construction of knowledge. The results also suggest accenting the teaching of epistemic writing that influences processes in the cognitive elaboration of knowledge.
