“…This model has proven to be by far the most popular. It has been supported by research using a variety of experimental tasks, including sentence completion (Holmes, Arwas, & Garrett, 1977;MacKay, 1966;Olson & MacKay, 1974), recall following rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP; Holmes et al, 1977), phoneme monitoring (Cairns & Hsu, 1980;Cairns & Kamerman, 1975;Foss, 1970;Foss & Jenkins, 1973), lexical decision (Hoiley-Wilcox & Blank, 1980;Onifer & Swinney, 1981;Swinney, 1979), word naming (Seidenberg et al, 1982;Tanenhaus et al, 1979), and Stroop interference (Conrad, 1974;Oden & Spira, 1983).…”

“…As was mentioned in the Introduction, the judgment task used in the present experiments has been used previously (e.g., Olson & MacKay, 1974) to measure the bias of ambiguous sentences. As such, the judgment task is a distinct improvement over the somewhat more common procedure of simply using the proportion of subjects who choose one interpretation vs. the other when given a forced choice.…”

“…For example, this task of judging the relative likelihoods of ambiguous sentence interpretations is sometimes used (e.g., Olson & MacKay, 1974) to tap subjects' linguistic intuitions about the degree of imbalance or bias of the ambiguous sentences. The bias of an ambiguous sentence is the degree to which one interpretation is more strongly preferred than the alternative.…”

“…The difference is presumed to reflect the increased computational load resulting from checking both senses against contextual information. Most other studies on lexical ambiguity have used tasks which do not reveal how the initial assignment of meaning to an ambiguous item occurs, since they require a variety of decisions to be made following comprehension of the sentence (Bever, Garrett, & Hurtig, 1973;Cairns, 1973;Carey, Mehler, & Bever, 1970;Foss, Bever, & Silver, 1968;MacKay, 1966;Olson & MacKay, 1974).…”
