A generic connection asserts that RT influences comprehension but does not explain how.  For example,

"Summarizing forces the child to understand the material."

Or,

"Reciprocal teaching is a method that makes children think about what they read."

Generic connections typically asserts that RT "forces," "makes," or "allows" a person to understand or think about what they read, but do not go the next step to explain how the mental activity influences the development of understanding.
