  • Context ameliorates but does not eliminate garden-pathing

    Open AccessDario Paape, Shravan VasishthARTICLEJournal of Memory and Language2026

    A theoretically important claim in psycholinguistics is that in English, linguistic context largely eliminates garden-path effects in temporary complement clause/relative clause ambiguities (e.g., Altmann et al., 1992). However, this strong claim, based on comparing mean differences between groups of conditions in a factorial design, reduces the conclusion to an overly simplistic binary one: either context affects garden-pathing or it doesn’t. Me…

  • The time course of local coherence effects in German

    Open AccessPia Schoknecht, Dario Paape et al.ARTICLECognitive Psychology2026

    In sentences like "The coach smiled at the player tossed a frisbee," the string "the player tossed a frisbee" cannot be an active subject-verb-object (SVO) clause given the preceding context; yet, comprehenders seem to entertain this incorrect parse, at least momentarily. Behaviorally, this momentary mis-parse is expressed as greater difficulty when the SVO chunk is read. This phenomenon, called a local coherence effect, has important implication…

  • Do local coherence effects exist in English reduced relative clauses

    Open AccessDario Paape, Garrett Smith et al.ARTICLEJournal of Memory and Language2025Citada por: 1Referencias: 61

    For decades, a major underlying assumption behind theories of sentence comprehension has been that the parser only entertains analyses that are grammatically consistent with all words encountered in the sentence so far. A dramatic challenge to this self-consistency assumption came from two self-paced reading experiments in English (Tabor et al. 2004). Using a syntactic and a syntactic–semantic manipulation, Tabor et al. (2004) found that particip…

  • Seam

    Open AccessMaximilian M Rabe, Dario Paape et al.ARTICLEJournal of Memory and Language2024

    Models of eye-movement control during reading, developed largely within psychology, usually focus on visual, attentional, lexical, and motor processes but neglect post-lexical language processing; by contrast, models of sentence comprehension processes, developed largely within psycholinguistics, generally focus only on post-lexical language processes. We present a model that combines these two research threads, by integrating eye-movement contro…

  • The Role of Incremental and Superficial Processing in the Depth Charge Illusion

    Open AccessDario PaapeARTICLEJournal of Semantics2023

    The depth charge illusion occurs when compositionally incongruous sentences such as No detail is too unimportant to be left out are assigned plausible non-compositional meanings (Don’t leave out details). Results of two online reading and judgment experiments show that moving the incongruous degree phrase to the beginning of the sentence in German (lit. “Too unimportant to be left out is surely no detail”) results in an attenuation of this semant…

  • Individual Differences in Cue Weighting in Sentence Comprehension

    Open AccessHimanshu Yadav, Dario Paape et al.ARTICLEOpen MIND2022

    Cue-based retrieval theories of sentence processing assume that syntactic dependencies are resolved through a content-addressable search process. An important recent claim is that in certain dependency types, the retrieval cues are weighted such that one cue dominates. This cue-weighting proposal aims to explain the observed average behavior, but here we show that there is systematic individual-level variation in cue weighting. Using the Lewis an…

  • Does Local Coherence Lead to Targeted Regressions and Illusions of Grammaticality

    Open AccessDario Paape, Shravan Vasishth et al.ARTICLEOpen MIND2021

    Local coherence effects arise when the human sentence processor is temporarily misled by a locally grammatical but globally ungrammatical analysis (The coach smiled at the player tossed a frisbee by the opposing team). It has been suggested that such effects occur either because sentence processing occurs in a bottom-up, self-organized manner rather than under constant grammatical supervision, or because local coherence can disrupt processing due…

  • Quadruplex Negatio Invertit? The On-Line Processing of Depth Charge Sentences

    Open AccessDario Paape, Shravan Vasishth et al.ARTICLEJournal of Semantics2020

    So-called “depth charge” sentences (No head injury is too trivial to be ignored) are interpreted by the vast majority of speakers to mean the opposite of what their compositional semantics would dictate. The semantic inversion that is observed for sentences of this type is the strongest and most persistent linguistic illusion known to the field ( Wason & Reich, 1979). However, it has recently been argued that the preferred interpretation arises n…

  • Local Coherence and Preemptive Digging-in Effects in German

    Open AccessDario Paape, Shravan VasishthARTICLELanguage and Speech2016Citada por: 2Referencias: 26

    SOPARSE predicts so-called local coherence effects: locally plausible but globally impossible parses of substrings can exert a distracting influence during sentence processing. Additionally, it predicts digging-in effects: the longer the parser stays committed to a particular analysis, the harder it becomes to inhibit that analysis. We investigated the interaction of these two predictions using German sentences. Results from a self-paced reading …
