This study analyzed the correlation between reading comprehension and text production when the processes happened in computers, tablets and cell phones. The research was theoretically based on the cognitive models of text production by Hayes and Flowers (1980) and by Hayes (1996) and the Construction-Integration model by Kintsch (1998). Raw data of two previous and independent studies were used. Study 1 analyzed cognitive effort, measured by the time spent in writing the text, and fluency, measured by the number of words per minute produced in each text. Study 2 counted the number of right answers in reading comprehension texts. Two statistical procedures were used: the Pearson Coefficient and Pairwise. Results indicated a strong positive correlation between fluency and cognitive effort in the production of texts in cell phones. A weak negative correlation was also noticed between reading comprehension and fluency in text production in cell phones; the same pattern was also observed in the relationship between fluency and cognitive effort in tablets.
