Direct linkLowder, Matthew W.; Gordon, Peter C. – Journal of Memory and Language, 2012
Previous work has suggested that the difficulty normally associated with processing an object-extracted relative clause (ORC) compared to a subject-extracted relative clause (SRC) is increased when the head noun phrase (NP1) is animate and the embedded noun phrase (NP2) is inanimate, compared to the reverse animacy configuration. Two eye-tracking…

Molinaro, Nicola; Vespignani, Francesco; Zamparelli, Roberto; Job, Remo – Journal of Memory and Language, 2011
In the present study we analyze how the cognitive system deals on-line with number agreement mismatches and whether this on-line process influences the off-line interpretation of the sentence. In two ERP experiments we monitored the on-line processing consequences of subject-verb agreement mismatches, focusing on the integration of a following…

Tydgat, Ilse; Stevens, Michael; Hartsuiker, Robert J.; Pickering, Martin J. – Journal of Memory and Language, 2011
This study investigated whether speakers strategically decide where to interrupt their speech once they need to stop. We conducted four naming experiments in which pictures of colored shapes occasionally changed in color or shape. Participants then merely had to stop (Experiment 1); or they had to stop and resume speech (Experiments 2-4). They…

Snedeker, Jesse; Yuan, Sylvia – Journal of Memory and Language, 2008
Prior studies of ambiguity resolution in young children have found that children rely heavily on lexical information but persistently fail to use referential constraints in online parsing [Trueswell, J.C., Sekerina, I., Hill, N.M., & Logrip, M.L, (1999). The kindergarten-path effect: Studying on-line sentence processing in young children.…

Gordon, Peter C.; Hendrick, Randall; Johnson, Marcus – Journal of Memory and Language, 2004
A series of self-paced reading time experiments was performed to assess how characteristics of noun phrases (NPs) contribute to the difference in processing difficulty between object- and subject-extracted relative clauses. Structural semantic characteristics of the NP in the embedded clause (definite vs. indefinite and definite vs. generic) did…

Fedorenko, Evelina; Gibson, Edward; Rohde, Douglas – Journal of Memory and Language, 2006
This paper reports the results of a dual-task experiment which investigates the nature of working memory resources used in sentence comprehension. Participants read sentences of varying syntactic complexity (containing subject-and object-extracted relative clauses) while remembering one or three nouns (similar to or dissimilar from the…
