TI  - Limitations on the use of verb information during sentence comprehension.
PG  - 132-8
AB  - An eye tracking experiment was conducted in order to investigate the role of verb 
      information in resolving structural ambiguity during sentence comprehension. 
      Reading time was measured on sentences containing temporarily ambiguous noun 
      phrases (e.g. "The athlete revealed the problem") that were continued as tensed 
      sentence (S) complements or noun phrase (NP) complements. Ambiguous noun phrases 
      were preceded either by verbs occurring most frequently with NP complements 
      (NP-biased) or verbs occurring most frequently with S complements (S-biased). 
      Reading time was also measured on sentences containing unambiguous S complements 
      preceded by either NP-biased or S-biased verbs. The results showed that contrary 
      to predictions made by verb guidance theories (e.g., constraint satisfaction; 
      MacDonald, Pearlmutter, & Seidenberg, 1994a, 1994b; Trueswell & Tanenhaus, 1994), 
      for both NP- and S-biased verb conditions, sentences containing temporarily 
      ambiguous noun phrase complements were read most quickly, and sentences 
      containing temporarily ambiguous S complements were read more slowly than those 
      containing unambiguous S complements.
