本研究的目的是确定4种类型的因果关系（物理因果关系，动机，心理因果关系和使能）的感知强度如何受到因果属性（即，必要性和充分性）和文本表层结构中的距离。参与者评估了从叙述中提取的句子对之间的关系的强度，无论是没有阅读的叙述，或与一个或两个阅读的叙述。这些对在必要性和充分性以及因果关系的类型上各不相同，在文本表层结构上或相邻或不相邻。必要性和充分性的标准被用来确定因果推理连接的陈述，以及确定其强度。正如所预测的那样，因果属性和文本表层结构中因果关系和因果关系之间的距离系统地影响了文本陈述之间关系的因果强度。此外，在阅读过程中，参与者发现了相邻和非相邻的因果关系。第二次阅读倾向于仅加强相邻对的连接。
The purpose of this study is to determine how the perceived strength of 4 types of causal relations (physical causality, motivation, psychological causation, and enablement) is affected by causal properties (i.e., necessity and sufficiency) and by distance in the text surface structure. Participants evaluated the strength of the relations between pairs of sentences extracted from narratives either without reading the narratives, or with one or two readings of the narratives. The pairs varied in necessity and sufficiency as well as in the type of causal relation and were either adjacent or nonadjacent in the text surface structure. The criteria of necessity and sufficiency were used to identify the causal inferences connecting the statements as well as to determine their strength. As predicted, causal properties and distance in the text surface structure between the cause and its consequence systematically affected the causal strengths of the relations between text statements. Also, during reading, participants detected both adjacent and nonadjacent causal relations. A 2nd reading tends to strengthen the connections for adjacent pairs only.
