1. What did Hogabaum, Perfetti (1975) suggest about frequency effects?

  • Because the least frequent sense was 'garden pathed', pps have to reanalyse to fit a dominant meaning with context
  • Support for a selective access model
  • Because the most frequent sense was 'garden pathed', pps have to reanalyse to fit a subordinate meaning with context
  • Because the least frequent sense was 'garden pathed', pps have to reanalyse to fit a subordinate meaning with context

2. What did Foss (1970) phoneme monitering study show?

  • Phonemes are harder to detect when the preceding context contains an ambiguous word
  • Ambig words are harder to detect when the preceding context contains an ambiguous word
  • Phonemes are easier to detect when the preceding context contains an ambiguous word
  • Ambiguous words are not easier to process in a strongly biasing context

3. What is the ambiguity advantage?

  • Only present in lexical decision tasks, when decisions for ambiguous words are faster than non-ambig. (multiple senses = advantage)
  • Only present in syntactic decision tasks, when decisions for ambiguous words are faster than non-ambig. (multiple meanings = advantage)
  • Only present in eye tracking tasks, when decisions for ambiguous words are slower than non-ambig. (multiple senses = advantage)
  • Only present in lexical decision tasks, when decisions for ambiguous words are slower than non-ambig. (multiple meanings = advantage)

4. Why was Swinney et als (1976) study an improvement over previous techniques?

  • Offline, cross modal priming, sensitve to other variables and reflect processes as they happen
  • Offline, cross modal priming, not sensitve to other variables and reflect processes as they happen
  • Online, cross modal priming, not sensitve to other variables and reflect processes as they happen
  • Online, cross modal priming, sensitve to other variables and reflect processes as they happen
