推理表征影响整体推理的实验研究

本研究采用５个实验探讨了推理表征对整体推理的影响。研究结果表明，读者在演绎推理和类比推理的条件下可以保持课文的整体连贯即整体推理，只是由于工作记忆容量有限，推理表征对于保持整体推理具有弱化作用。

THE EFFECT OF INFERENTIAL REPRESENTATION ON GLOBAL INFERENCESDURING READING

Our previous experiments demonstrated a contradiction effect. The present experiments extended theprevious ones by introducing a condition in which notonly both the critical characteristics and the protagonist but also the inferential representation were backgrounded. When the inferential representation was introduced into the narrative in the context of carryingout an inconsistent action, the contradiction effect wasdelayed but did occur. The results showed that contradiction effect was weakened by the inferential representation in various conditions because of limitedworking memory capacity.
