    "title": "Why Do Readers Answer Questions Incorrectly\nAfter Reading Garden-path Sentences?",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Readers misinterpret garden-path sentences such as While the\nman hunted the deer that was brown and graceful ran into the\nwoods as meaning The man hunted the deer that was brown\nand graceful and the deer ran into the woods. The “Goodenough”\nprocessing account proposes that misinterpretation\noccurs when readers are satisfied with the interpretation\nderived from the first-pass parse, and thus do not bother to\nfully reanalyze the sentence (Ferreira et al., 2001;\nChristianson et al., 2001). Such an account predicts that there\nshould be more evidence of reanalysis at the disambiguating\nverb (ran) on trials with correct responses to the question Did\nthe man hunt the deer?, than on those with incorrect\nresponses. The present study tested this prediction using\nseparate self-paced reading and event-related brain potential\n(ERP) experiments. Results from Experiment 1 (self-paced\nreading) showed no difference in the reading time at the\ndisambiguating verb between trials that were answered\ncorrectly and those that were answered incorrectly.\nExperiment 2 (ERP) corroborated this finding by showing no\ndifference in the amplitude of the P600 component elicited by\nthe disambiguating verb in trials with correct responses and\nthose with incorrect responses. However, results from a\nnorming experiment showed that plausibility information\nsignificantly predicted question accuracy in both experiments.\nOverall, these results suggest that responses to questions\nintended to probe whether garden-path sentences are fully\nreanalyzed do not always answer that question, but can\ninstead be determined primarily by the plausibility of the\nevents described in that question.",
