Two studies are reported in which texts were systematically varied so as to vary the importance of inferences in the text. The central question investigated was whether variations in the importance of an inference would affect the probability that the inference would be made. While it is by now well established that inference plays a vital role in discourse comprehension and memory, the variables which control inferential processes are not yet fully identified or well understood. Indeed, much of the recent research on inference has simply sought to establish the existence and importance of inferential processes, and has failed to illuminate the controlling variables. While the effect of task variables on inference has received a fair amount of study, little attention has been paid to text variables.
