During reading, bridging inferences provide logical or thematic links between sentences, and people often behave as if such inferences actually appeared in the original passage. We placed different types of evidence sentences in a passage, each directly related to a bridging inference that linked two passage sentences. We had people read the passage one sentence at a time. In a first study, we assessed how often bridging inferences were accepted as original passage sentences, and in a second study, we assessed how often bridging inferences were judged true, given the reading. Results from both studies demonstrated that sentences containing supporting empirical evidence increased the acceptability of the supported inferences.
