question 28

Multiple Choice

In a classic study of how inferences are processed in text comprehension,Kintsch (1974) presented one group of participants with two sentences that explicitly stated some fact.Another group received two sentences that only implied that fact.Kintsch was interested in how readily participants inferred the fact in question,and whether this inference became part of the text representation.He tested this by asking participants to verify sentences that included the target fact,either immediately after reading or after a delay.His findings indicated

• A)verification times were equally fast for implied and explicit facts,but only after a delay.
• B)verification times were equally fast for implied and explicit facts immediately and after a delay.
• C)verification times were faster for explicitly presented facts than for implied facts,but only after a delay.
• D)verification times were faster for explicitly presented facts than for implied facts immediately and after a delay.
