The present study replicated Long, Oppy, and Seely's (1994) finding that skilled readers make knowledge-based inferences spontaneously during reading whereas less skilled readers do not. However, the study also showed that less-skilled readers can make knowledge based inferences with appropriate textual support. Evidence for knowledge based inferences was obtained by examining whether readers were faster to make lexical decision responses to theme appropriate targets (e.g. burglar) than to theme-inappropriate targets (e.g. blueprint), when reading short passages (e.g. The old woman awoke to a sound from downstairs. She reached into her purse and found only a file.). Whereas skilled readers generated knowledge based inferences under all text conditions, less skilled readers only showed evidence of having generated knowledge based inferences when the text incorporated a question inviting the inference (e.g. The old woman awoke and said, 'Why is there a sound downstairs?' She reached into her purse and found only a file) and text presentation speed was slower.
