Abstract

We investigated whether individuals who differ in comprehension skill have differences in the the efficiency of their suppression mechanism in anaphoric reference. In experiment 1, using the probe recognition task, it was found that while more skilled comprehenders responded slower to the inappropriate referents of anaphors compared to the appropriate referents in the presence of context, less skilled comprehenders did not respond slower, suggesting that less skilled comprehender did not suppress the context-inappropriate referents.1n experiment 2, using the context verification task, it was found that less skilled comprehenders reject less efficiently the inappropriate referents. These results support the hypothesis of Gernsbacher (1988) that less skilled comprehenders have less efficient suppression mechanism.
