This task involves reading English sentences. The task should take about 15 minutes. Please pay attention. Thanks!
Legal information: By answering the following questions, you are participating in a study being performed by cognitive scientists in the Stanford Department of Linguistics. If you have questions about this research, please contact Michael Hahn at mhahn2@stanford.edu. You must be at least 18 years old to participate. Your participation in this research is voluntary. You may decline to answer any or all of the following questions. You may decline further participation, at any time, without adverse consequences. Your anonymity is assured; the researchers who have requested your participation will not receive any personal information about you.
You will read sentences word by word. On each screen you will see two options: one will be the next word in the sentence, and one will not. Select the word that continues the sentence by pressing 'e' (left-hand) for the word on the left or pressing 'i' (right-hand) for the word on the right.
Select the best word as quickly as you can, but without making too many errors.
Don't worry if you make errors occasionally. Participants typically make an error once every 30 words. The first four sentences will serve as practice and not contain attention checks.
