**Poster Session A (Thursday, 12:10 - 2:00 pm):** Thanks for coming by to check out my poster! I'll be around during my poster session to answer questions via OSF. Otherwise, you can also contact me via email at fkung@unc.edu. **Short Abstract:** Unlike Gordon, Hendrick, and Johnson (2001), Staub, Dillon, and Clifton (2017) found inconsistent evidence for memory’s role (i.e., effects at the matrix verb) in subject-object asymmetry in relative clauses (RCs). To investigate these differences, we used both studies’ sentence stimuli and manipulated (1) answer feedback and (2) comprehension questions. Linear mixed effects models revealed effects of RC type on the matrix verb—with somewhat larger effects for Gordon than Staub stimuli—but no effects of feedback or question style, indicating robustness to task variation. Thus, the current study provides stronger evidence for the role of memory-based explanations in sentence processing.
