    "abstract": "The centering inference - p & q, therefore if p then q - is\nimportant in reasoning research because it is logically valid\nfor some accounts of conditionals (e. g. the material and the\nprobability conditionals), but not for others (e. g. the\ninferential conditional, according to which a conditional is\ntrue if and only if there is an inferential connection between p\nand q). We tested participants' acceptance of centering\ncompared to valid and invalid inferences not containing\nconditionals, varying the presence of an inferential connection\nand of a common topic of discourse between p and q.\nParticipants' acceptance of centering was more similar to\nvalid inferences than to invalid inferences, and there was no\nreliable effect of a connection between p and q. Acceptance\nrates were higher when there was a common topic of\ndiscourse, independently of the type of inference. The\nfindings support the probability conditional account.",
