at first and that the sentences with 1 proposition were new.
* All that mattered was the number of the propositions; the more propositions the sentence
had, the more likely they
thought that they had read it before
3. What are integrated prepositions?-CORRECT ANSWER- More prepositions in a sentence. This
makes the sentence seem
more familiar to us even if we haven't seen it
4. What are garden path sentences?-CORRECT ANSWER- Easily misunderstood, ambiguous
Does not seem grammatically correct, but it is.
Misparsing
5. The word superiority effect-CORRECT ANSWER- words have letters scrambled, but are still
easy to read when the nonword's
f
irst and last letter remain in place.
Results show that the word was detected fastest because it's easy to detect letters in context
6. is the word superiority effect top down or bottom up?-CORRECT ANSWER- top down

Recorded neural activity in the visual cortex
Neurons are specialized for feature detection/ responding to different features
