推理表徵影響整體連貫的實驗研究

The Effect of Inferential Representation of Global Coherence during Reading

本實驗研究探討了推理表徵對整體連貫的影響、實驗1檢驗推理表徵是否影響矛盾效應：實驗2檢驗人物作為焦點發生轉移時推理表徵的作用；實驗3檢驗工具作為焦點發生轉移時推理表徵作用；實驗4檢驗條件狀語復句即話語指針（pointer）引導原主角進入外顥焦點時推理表徵的作用；實驗5檢驗主角的主要特徵在課文不同位置活躍的程度。結果表明，讀者在演繹推理和類比推理的條件下也可以保持課文的整體連貫，只是由於工作記憶容量有限，推理表徵對於保持整體連貫有弱化作用。

Previous experiments have demonstrated a contradiction effect. The present experiments extended that work by introducing a condition in which not only both the critical characteristics and the protagonist， but also the inferential representation， was backgrounded. When the inferential representation was introduced into the narrative in the context of carrying out an inconsistent action， the contradiction effect was delayed but did occur. The results showed that contradiction effect was weakened by the inferential representation in various conditions because of limited working memory capacity.
