Abstract

The instrument inference is a kind of knowledge-based elaborative inferences. Although most research on inference showed that elaborative inferences were not generated on-line during comprehension, they have several methodological problems in selecting experimental materials and not using the control group and appropriate on-line measures. This study was conducted to investigate whether instrument inference was generated during comprehension using various on-line measures such as lexical decision time (Experiment 1), naming time (Experiment 2), and self-paced reading time (Experiment 3). Two Experiments (Experiment 1 and Experiment 3) provided convergent evidence for on-line generation of instrument inference. The results were consistent with the prediction of elaborative position on inference.
