semantics; syntax
phonetics; syntax
rules; short cuts - Answer-speed; accuracy
The sentence "I like Spanish food and books" could mean
that I like books in general, or that I specifically like
Spanish books. This sentence would be an example of a
semantic mismatch
global ambiguity
temporary ambiguity
grammatical error - Answer-global ambiguity
Which sentence processing model/theory is supported by
evidence showing integration of different types of cues?
Cohort model
Constraint-based model
Garden path theory
TRACE model - Answer-Constraint-based model
Which of the following is the control condition in
Tanenhaus

et al. (1995), because it is unambiguous?
a) "Put the apple on the towel in the box."
b) "Put the pencil on the towel in the box."
c) "Put the apple that's on the towel in the box."
d) None of the above. - Answer-c) "Put the apple that's on
the towel in the box."
If a sentence continuation has "high surprisal", that means
that
it has a high probability of occurring, given statistical
language patterns
it causes a high amplitude peak in the P600
it causes a high amplitude peak in the N400
it has a low probability of occurring, given statistical
language patterns - Answer-it has a high probability of
occurring, given statistical language patterns
point
DeLong et al (2005) proposed that the reason an N400
was observed when participants were, for example,
reading the word "an" before the word "airplane" was that
participants don't fixate on short words like "an"
