Sentence processing involves a "digging-in" effect where initial interpretations strengthen with more consistent linguistic input. This study confirms this effect is partly due to processing additional phrases, not just region length.

Area of Science:

  • Psycholinguistics
  • Computational Linguistics
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • Parsing commitments strengthen with consistent linguistic input.
  • Undoing strong commitments is more time-consuming than undoing weak ones.
  • The 'digging-in' effect's cause (length vs. processing cost) is debated.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate if the 'digging-in' effect in sentence processing is due to region length or additional processing costs.
  • Differentiate between structural length and processing load in sentence comprehension.
  • Test dynamical, self-organizing models against other sentence processing models.

Main Methods:

  • Controlled experiment using Japanese relative clause structures.
  • Lexical content and sentence meaning were carefully controlled.

  • Examined the processing of additional adjuncts to assess their impact on commitment strength.

    • Main Results:

    • Evidence for a 'digging-in' effect was found.
    • This effect reflects strengthened commitment to an incorrect analysis.
    • The processing of additional adjuncts contributed to this strengthened commitment.

    Conclusions:

    • Supports dynamical, self-organizing models of sentence processing.
    • Challenges serial two-stage models and frequency-based probabilistic models (e.g., surprisal theory).
    • Highlights the role of processing additional phrases in sentence comprehension dynamics.
