Phrase-structure
Overregulation
Morphological
Question 4

Yesterday I thinked.
Colorless green ideas sleep furiously.

Question 6
The statement “It was a bomb” requires additional contextual knowledge or
prosody
morphology
syntax
extralinguistic
Question 8
Based on N400 brain wave data, which is NOT a strategy that people use to parse sentences (what was the study about)?
waiting until the end of a sentence before starting to interpret it
incorporating the knowledge of what preceded the sentence in the conversation
choosing the interpretation that would make the least complex sentence tree
tending to assume that the most frequent meaning of a word is the one that is currently intended
Question 9
Why does speech in a foreign language often sound very fast?
Many foreign languages are spoken very quickly owing to cultural differences.
There is greater coarticulation in some languages relative to others.
If you do not know the language, you cannot restore the missing phonemes.
If we do not know the language, we do not know how to segment the continuous speech stream.
Question 10

parietal
frontal
occipital
temporal
Question 11
People sometimes say “To be pacific” instead of “To be specific” or the joke “This guy is falling” rather than “The sky is falling” because they mishear the breaks in language. This is best an example of problems with
the invariance problem (how we hear phonemes the same even those physically different)
the phoneme restoration effect (filling in missing phonemes)
speech segmentation (where are the pauses)
coarticulation (blending of phonemes)
Question 12
Which sentence is the easiest for English speakers to understand (assuming the / are pauses)?

The/large tomato made/a satisfying/splat when it/hit the/floor.

All of the above are equal in ease of reading.

False
Question 14

True
False

Some tasks require visual imagery and others require spatial imagery, but for some task, either one will work fine.
