Three experiments were conducted to determine whether inferences which function so as to preserve the coherence of a passage are drawn in the course of comprehension. The study focused upon the implications of verbs and verb phrases concerning the concepts that fill the related agent, patient, and instrument cases. In all three experiments, judgments about the “necessary” inferences were compared with those about directly expressed ideas and about inferences that were possible but not crucial for coherence. In experiment 1, the rated recognition of necessary inference tests was intermediate to the scores for direct ideas and unnecessary inferences. Experiment 2 introduced an important control for physical similarity. The rated recognition of necessary inferences was comparable to that for “direct” tests, and higher than the unnecessary inference scores. In Experiment 3, subjects needed the same amount of time to verify necessary inference and direct tests, and 245 msec more for unnecessary inferences. It was concluded that the necessary inferences are indeed realized in the list of propositions representing the meaning of the passage. |
