Representation distortion contributes to agreement attraction in comprehension
Sentence comprehension relies on encoding linguistic items in memory and accessing them subsequently to form linguistic dependencies. This makes processing susceptible to memory interference. Interference, such as the distortion of memory representations or access to irrelevant memory items, can lead to misinterpretation or grammatical errors. Over the years, research on agreement attraction has debated whether this hallmark of memory interferenc…
Predictability of the Retrieval Site Does Not Modulate Interference: Evidence From Reflexive Attraction
Syntactic dependency formation in comprehension is subject to retrieval interference that occurs when comprehenders need to activate stored information in memory to form and interpret a linguistic dependency. For example, retrieving a subject phrase to attach it to the verb might result in agreement attraction errors. It remains unclear whether this interference arises as part of routine dependency formation or as part of a repair mechanism that …
Interference in the formation of filler-gap dependencies: Evidence from Hebrew relative clauses
We test if fillers in filler-gap dependencies are susceptible to interference. • We find RT evidence for facilitatory interference in ungrammatical sentences. • RT evidence for inhibitory interference in grammatical sentences was not observed. • Inhibitory interference was found in comprehension accuracy. • A model explaining the different findings is proposed. Much research in sentence processing has shown that the formation of syntactic depende…
The representation of agreement features in memory is updated during sentence processing: Evidence from verb-reflexive interactions
This Better Be Interesting: A Speaker’s Decision to Speak Cues Listeners to Expect Informative Content
In anticipating upcoming content, comprehenders are known to rely on real-world knowledge. This knowledge can be deployed directly in favor of upcoming content about typical situations (implying a transparent mapping between the world and what speakers say about the world). Such knowledge can also be used to estimate the likelihood of speech, whereby atypical situations are the ones newsworthy enough to merit reporting (i.e., a nontransparent map…
Noisy is better than rare: Comprehenders compromise subject-verb agreement to form more probable linguistic structures
A processing-based account of subliminal wh-island effects
Active dependency formation in islands: How grammatical resumption affects sentence processing
Previous studies concluded that despite the parser's eagerness to resolve filler-gap dependencies, in island configurations it prefers to posit late grammatical gaps over early ungrammatical ones. This study investigates the possibility of resolving filler-gap dependencies inside Hebrew islands. We investigated the acceptability of resumptive pronouns (RPs) in two islands and the sensitivity of on-line dependency formation to the status of those …
