| Abstract |
| Ordinary sentences, semantically
anomalous sentences, and scrambled word strings were heard behind masking noise in a
speech-perception experiment. Time interval between words was .5, 1, or 2 sec.
Results were: (a) ordinary sentences were increasingly difficult to hear with
increasing intervals between words; (b) anomalous-sentence scores were higher than
scrambled-string scores but did not decrease with time interval; and (c) beginning words
were heard better than end words in ordinary sentences and scrambled strings but not in
anomalous sentences. |
