In processing procedural documents, two steps obviously exist: inspection of instructions and execution of actions. This paper is concerned by mental activities linking these two steps. For some authors, comprehension of instructions involves two sub-processes: construction of a situational representation and elaboration of an action plan. The first sub-process is aimed at coordinating information provided by the text, the pictures, the device and the user's knowledge base. This preliminary sub-process would be a prerequisite for the subsequent sub-process: elaboration of action plan. This article reports a study aimed at investigating these processes. The presented results established the special importance of the verbal system in the comprehension of procedural instructions, particularly in action planning. In addition, results showed that presenting text together with pictures improve comprehension in comparison with pictures or text alone.
