- The default fillers do the inferential heavy lifting: told only "Mary went to a restaurant and later complained the steak was tough," a comprehender infers — without being told — that Mary was seated, ordered, and was served, because the script supplies those steps by default.
This sourceDemonstrates empirically that comprehenders fill in unstated-but-scripted events by default and that script structure governs memory for narratives.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
