psycholinguistic inferences
From the context you've given, this is how I understand it:
"Inferences fill in missing information that is not explicitly stated in the discourse. They are activated from previous information of the current discourse, or from stored knowledge of past experiences. Most of the time, inferences are needed to make sense of the text or conversation."

Comment: "Thanks! That makes the most sense to me. I think that both proposed answers get to the same point, but the reason I asked was that "psycholinguistic inference" gets precisely zero Google hits, which makes me nervous about saying it..."

from what I know about psycholinguistics it's inducing the tested subject to produce certain speech patterns I guess-It's a complex subject and I am able to suggest a translation not an explantion of the trials themselves without extensive research;)

: link too long, but excerpt from "Psycholinguistic and Sociolinguistic perspectives on second language" if you add induction to the search, seems to confirm your idea
