Sentence examples for experimental sentence from inspiring English sources

Some studies use a "probe verification" task rather than an overt acceptability judgment; in this paradigm, each experimental sentence is followed by a "probe word", and subjects must answer whether or not the probe word had appeared in the sentence.

Participants performed eight experimental blocks each consisting of 40 experimental sentences, 20 short, and 20 long fillers, resulting in 40 experimental sentences per condition on the whole.

In addition to the experimental sentences, a set of 160 filler sentences was constructed.

Within a block none of the experimental sentences of a given set was repeated.

Thus, there was a total of 1280 experimental sentences (640 correct sentences and 320 each semantically and syntactically incorrect ones).

Acoustic adjectives for the filler sentences were constructed according to the same procedure as used for the experimental sentences.

None of the 320 experimental sentences (plus acoustic adjective) within a given subset of materials was repeated.

For the remaining fillers (long fillers), a complement was appended to the structure of the experimental sentences.

A given participant was presented with one of these subsets of 320 experimental sentences plus 320 filler sentences (plus acoustic adjectives).

Offline, the continuous EEG was segmented into 1800-ms epochstartingng 200 ms before the onset of the visual noun in the experimental sentences.

Separate ERP waves were analyzed for epochs containing adjectives in the experimental sentences as a function of whether they were correct or not and preceded by an auditory adjective in Task 2 matching or mismatching syntactically or semantically, separately for each corresponding condition (syntactic, semantic).
