McKoon &拉特克利夫（1992）提出的限制性推理加工的最低限度假设认为，伴随理解的自动推理要么是基于快速获得的信息，要么是有助于局部语篇连贯的推理。本文件确定了最低限度假设的严重缺陷。首先，极简主义的定义是有缺陷的自动性的概念和两个极简主义的标准。其次，极简主义很难证伪。第三，最低限度的预测，即读者不会在本地连贯的情况下将遥远的文本思想联系起来，这与现有的证据相矛盾。第四，最低限度的否定，读者通常从文本中获得的情况模型是不是最低限度的假设的必然含义。另一种全球性的分析是，读者在多个测试表征水平上保持连贯性，包括情境水平;推理过程由可用性的协作、激活的收敛以及对文本结果的解释的搜索来指导。
Abstract The minimalist hypothesis of restricted inference processing (McKoon & Ratcliff, 1992) states that the only automatic inferences to accompany comprehension are those that either are based on quickly available information or contribute to local text coherence. The present paper identifies serious shortcomings of the minimalist hypothesis. First, the definition of minimalism is flawed with reference to the concepts of automaticity and the two minimalist criteria. Second, minimalism is difficult to falsify. Third, the minimalist prediction that readers will not inferentially link distant text ideas under local coherence is contradicted by existing evidence. Fourth, the minimalist denial that readers routinely derive situation models from text is not a necessary implication of the minimalist hypothesis. An alternate, global, analysis is that readers maintain coherence at multiple levels of test representation, including the situational level; and that inference processes are guided by the collaboration of availability, convergence of activation, and the search for explanations for text outcomes.
