“…Indeed, several psycholinguistic researchers have confirmed this hypothesis. For example, it has been demonstrated that self-embedded sentences are especiallydifficult to comprehend and remember (Freedle & Craun, 1970;Fodor & Garrett, 1967;Forster & Ryder, 1971;Goldman-Eisler & Cohen, 1971;Hamilton & Deese, 1971;Holmes, 1973;Miller & Isard, 1964;Wang, 1970). The results from this research are so dramatic that grammatical complexity should be a major concern in the writing of jury instructions.…”

“…These facts have often been attributed to the limiting role of working memory in a perceptual device that is orthogonal to human grammatical competence (Freedle & Craun, 1970;Kimball, 1973;Blaubergs & Braine, 1974;Larkin & Burns, 1977;Wanner & Maratsos, 1978). However, Just and Carpenter (1992) have argued that the presumably modularized encapsulation of syntactic processing is actually a consequence of constraints on working memory capacity.…”

“…Of the types of sentences described, the self-embedded one is the most difficult to recall (Forster & Ryder, 1971;Holmes, 1973;Miller & Isard, 1964) and comprehend (Fodor & Garrett, 1967;Freedle & Craun, 1970;Goldman-Eisler, 1961;Hamilton & Deese, 1971;Wang, 1970). The results have been so dramatic that almost all of the recent research on the effects of grammatical complexity on recall and comprehension has been done with self-embedded sentences.…”
