    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "This study investigated how knowledge of causality representations affects the reading in Japanese. In Experiment\n1, 24 participants read events presented in cause-to-effect or effect-to-cause order without causal conjunctions. The latter\nreceived longer reading times and more regressions than the former even when probability and predictability were balanced.\nExperiment 2 examined whether this reading order effect was derived from a default reasoning asymmetry (i.e., reasoning from\ncause to effect is favored over that from effect to cause). We utilized epistemic constructions to explicitly identify the reasoning\ndirection. Self-paced reading results from 24 participants showed that readers were more efficient when reading cause-event as\nthe evidence, effect-event as the conclusion vis-a-vis the counterpart, confirming the reasoning asymmetry. However, reading\norder effect remained robust, presumably reflecting that causal reasoning is temporally embodied.",
