If EM patterns reflect different degrees of anomaly for SA and PA, the DA condition should show a single early peak in regressive EM, parallel to SA sentences. The result shows two clear peaks in regressive EM for the double anomaly condition, supporting the hypothesis that separate processing mechanisms are engaged by syntactic anomaly and pragmatic anomaly. Finally, consistent with Braze et al.
Readers tend to re-fixate sentence regions appropriate to each type of anomaly.
The daisies were slowly wilting in the hot weather this afternoon. The daisies had slowly wilting in the hot weather this afternoon. The puddles were slowly wilting in the hot weather this afternoon. The puddles had slowly wilting in the hot weather this afternoon. If earlier findings can be generalized, then we would expect to see patterns of regressive EM similar those reported by Ni et al.
