On the parsing of garden-path sentences

Previous studies have reported that temporarily ambiguous sentences sometimes cause reading disruption (garden-path effects). These interpreted their finding as indicating the human sentence processing device (the processor) initially assigns incorrect structures and subsequently attempts revision. That is a logical interpretation. However, no previous demonstrated evidence of causal relationship between garden-path effects initial misanalysis. Besides, there currently limited regarding whether processor conducts The present study reports two self-paced experiments investigated these fundamental issues about effects. Experiment 1 misanalyses consequently encounters persists with misinterpretations. 2 similarly observed Additionally, was constructs globally correct during findings provide result from misanalysis, revision upon disambiguation.
