• Interference effects from grammatically unavailable constituents during sentence processing. (2007, result): “The appearance of the semantic interference effect in the final region of the online measures is consistent with other studies that have shown effects of discourse or semantic anomaly later than the region containing the anomaly ( Boland & Blodgett, 2001; Braze, Shankweiler, Ni, & Palumbo, 2002; Ni”
• Evidence against competition during syntactic ambiguity resolution. (2005, background): “…structure are activated in parallel and that all sources of linguistic and probabilistic information are used immediately during syntactic ambiguity resolution (but cf. Boland, 1997; Boland & Blodgett, 2001; Boland & Boehm-Jernigan , 1998; for a different type of constraint-based account).”
• Cognitive control and parsing: Reexamining the role of Broca’s area in sentence comprehension (2005, background): “It is proposed that the processing system deals with this kind of ambiguity via temporary parallelism, which is weighted by frequency or, perhaps more aptly, probability (see Boland & Blodgett, 2001; M. C. MacDonald et al., 1994; Trueswell & Tanenhaus, 1994).”
• The 35th Sir Frederick Bartlett Lecture: Eye movements and attention in reading, scene perception, and visual search (2009, background): “When readers are gardenpathed by syntactic ambiguity (Binder, Duffy, & Rayner, 2001; Boland & Blodgett, 2001; Clifton et al., 2003; Ferreira & Clifton, 1986; Frazier & Rayner, 1982; Rayner et al., 1983; Rayner & Frazier, 1987; Rayner, Garrod, & Perfetti, 1992) their fixations get longer, and they…”
• An Activation-Based Model of Sentence Processing as Skilled Memory Retrieval (2005, background): “However, recent empirical work consistently points to distinctions between argument and adjunct attachment that are unexpected under the lexicalized account (Boland et al., 2004; Boland & Blodgett, 2001 ).”
