A researcher decided to conduct an experiment similar to
Neisser's (1964) visual search study, presenting "Z"'s in arrays
containing two types of distracter objects. In one array, there are
letters such as "o"'s and "g"'s. In the other array, there are letters
such as "E"'s and "X"'s. which of the following patterns of
results would suggest that letter perception is bottom-up and
feature-based? Correct Answers Slower detection of Z's in
arrays of E's and X's
According the "Good-Enough" paper by Ferreira et al. (2002),
the reason why the good-enough approach might be particularly
useful in helping to account for sentence comprehension during
conversation is that in conversation, ______________. Correct
Answers the goal of comprehension is to understand a partner's
statement well enough to produce a reply
According to the Sacks, Shegloff, and Jefferson (1974) model of
turn-taking, the primary rule is that Correct Answers the
current speaker is allowed to select the next speaker
Along with experience, readers become more: Correct Answers
Efficient in extracting information from text with fewer eye
movements
Also in the "Good-Enough" paper by Ferreira et al. (2002), two
experiments were summarized that supported good-enough
processing. In one of them, by Ferreira & Stacey (2000),
participants read sentences and were asked to provide ratings for
, each sentence as to whether the sentence was plausible. They
concluded that readers sometimes used semantic knowledge and
ignored syntactic information in making these plausibility
judgment ratings. Ratings of which of the following sentences
allowed them to draw this conclusion? Correct Answers The
dog was bitten by the man.
Although the perceptual spans of both English speakers and
Hebrew speakers are asymmetrical, they are not asymmetrical in
the same direction. For English speakers, perceptual span is
larger to the right side of the current fixation point, and for
Hebrew speakers, it is larger to the left side. Why is that?
Correct Answers Due to differences in the direction in which
each language is written and read, attention moves further to the
right while reading english, and further to the left while reading
Hebrew.

As Linda is saying the sentence "And that's why I never went to
Arby's again", Joe says, "That reminds of the time I threw a bee
on your face" just as Linda says the word "again". According to
the coding scheme developed by Zimmerman and West (1975)
to identify violations of turn-taking, Joe's behavior would be
categorized as Correct Answers an overlap, and not a violation
of turn-taking rules
Dr. Werdnurd has designed an experiment in the following way:
In both conditions, the subjects' objective is to identify a letter
