Description: Good-enough approach to language comprehension assumes that people do not always engage in full detailed processing of linguistic input. Rather, the parser forms shallow representations when confronted with some difficulty such as complex syntactic structure (“While Anna bathed the baby played in the crib”) or noisy input. Although the good-enough approach has been studied for some time, we still do not know what factors trigger this type of processing. In this study, we investigate two factors that might influence the reliance on the good-enough language processing strategy — age and noise.
