Because emotionally arousing (i.e., pleasant and unpleasant) targets were over-represented at lag 2 in the correct condition (and were under-represented in the incorrect condition), we performed an additional analysis using bootstrap resampling of trials at the level of individual participants (see Methods).
This is because natural production of incorrect sentences could have led to syllable lengthening and thus to additional prosodic cues in the incorrect condition.
We had used two A.B frames, sta.ando and puo.are, for the correct condition and two frames, puo.ando and sta.are, for the incorrect condition.

These 1280 sentences were subdivided into four subsets of 320 sentences, where each condition combination of the factors correctness (correct vs. incorrect), condition (semantics vs. syntax), and matching (matching vs. mismatching) was represented by 40 sentences.
To be included children had to have 8 accepted trials in the correct condition and 8 in the incorrect condition within the four test phases and had to pass Test Phase 1 and Test Phase 4. Furthermore, mean number of trials Test Phase 1 and Test Phase 4 was about 5 trials (TP1: correct = 5.36, incorrect = 5.38; TP4: correct = 4.71, incorrect 4.71).
"There's something wrong when the chairman is taking in $17 million in 2003, but baristas, who are the foundation of the company, are living in grinding poverty and serving very hot drinks at unsafe speeds under ergonomically incorrect conditions".

For example, for CIN5 in the MMS stress condition, an incorrect distance of the TFBS can lead to NFB.
In the general case, dividing by the lumped instead of the individual biomass provides an incorrect description of experimental conditions as certain reactions are performed by specific organisms only and not by the total biomass.
