This study was conducted to investigate the on-line effect of predictive inferences in text comprehension. In Experiment 1, using lexical decision task, it was found that the condition of predictive inference was faster than control condition. In. Experiment 2, using naraing task, there was no difference between conditions. In Experiment 3, using self-paced sentence reading task, it was found that the condition of creditive inference was faster than control condition. The result of three experiments suggested predictive inference was occued on-line during reading. This results were explained by elaborative position and situation models perspective.
