Contrasting intrusion profiles for agreement and anaphora: Experimental and modeling evidence (2013, methodology): “…process that degrades the memory fidelity of individual memory chunks when their representations overlap in feature content would predict similar patterns of difficulty, without requiring the use of non-structural cues to retrieval (Gordon et al., 2001, 2002, 2004; Nairne, 1988, 1990).”
An Activation-Based Model of Sentence Processing as Skilled Memory Retrieval (2005, background): “However, some of the similarity effects—particularly those showing up before the verb (Gordon et al., 2004)— may be more properly understood asencodinginterference, something that is missing from all current processing models.”
Processing of relative clauses is made easier by frequency of occurrence (2007, background): “Similarity-based interference theories (e.g., Bever, 1974; Gordon et al., 2001; Gordon et al., 2004) predict a reduction in the object-relative/subject-relative difference in processing difficulty in Experiments 1, 2 and 3.”
Expectation-based syntactic comprehension. (2008, methodology): “Quite recently, Green and Mitchell (2006) have argued that the results of Traxler et al. (1998); van Gompel et al. (2001, 2005) are actually unproblematic for competition models, on the basis of an extensive set of simulations using the Spivey-Knowlton (1996) normalized recurrence algorithm serving ”
Interference effects from grammatically unavailable constituents during sentence processing. (2007, background): “Interference effects in sentence processing are beginning to be recognized, but the conditions that give rise to these effects are not well understood ( Gordon, Hendrick, & Johnson, 2001, 2004; Van Dyke & Lewis, 2003; Van Dyke & McElree, 2006).”
