Does producing syntactic agreement rely on syntactic or memory-based retrieval processes? The present study investigated the extent to which syntactic processing deficits and working memory (WM) deficits predict susceptibility to agreement attraction …
Natural language contains disfluencies and errors. Do listeners simply discard information that was clearly produced in error, or can erroneous material persist to affect subsequent processing? Two experiments explored this question using a …
Number agreement and grammatical gender agreement are susceptible to attraction, where characteristics of other sentence elements lead to agreement errors. Previous evidence and theories suggest that attraction happens as a syntactic or lexical …
