The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Out of Order: How important is the sequential order of words in a sentence in Natural Language Understanding tasks? (2020, background): “Gibson et al. 2013 found that humans can also exhibit word-order-invariance effects, especially when one interpretation is much more semantically plausible.”
Consequences of the Now-or-Never bottleneck for signed versus spoken languages (2015, methodology): “…interest in rational, rather processing-based, explanations in cognitive science (e.g., Anderson 1990; Chater et al. 2006 Griffiths & Tenenbaum 2009; Oaksford & Chater 1998; 2007; Tenenbaum et al. 2011), including language processing (Gibson et al. 2013; Hale 2001; 2006; Piantadosi et al. 2011).”
