In summary, our findings do not support the hypothesis that males are less capable of inferring mental states than females because they presented similar behavioral performance in the task. However, we demonstrated that the same outcome was achieved using different strategies between genders. According to our findings, the text and pictorial cue are processed first, but the participants do not yet make their decision. Both formal and pragmatic information are initially grasped. Therefore, no temporal priority is given, as proposed by the standard pragmatic model. After these initial gazes, the participants tended to increase the number of fixations on the pragmatic information. Our results support both the graded salience hypothesis and direct access view. Both models understand that there are no temporal differences between literal and nonliteral processing and that integrating contextual and pragmatic information will provide the intended and correct interpretation.
