Hi! For a walkthrough and a chat drop by during the time of the second poster session (Friday 12:10 - 2:00 EDT).
NB: There is a mistake on the poster. In the table with the results under the first experiment "too" should be "distance" and vice-versa.
There is a growing body of data supporting theories of memory recall that
understand recall as (immediate) content-addressable retrieval that is subject
to interference. We investigate a semantic dependency that might involve a
similar memory retrieval operation. We conducted a three-experiment study
involving a so-called additive "too". In the experiments two variables were
manipulated: distance between the antecedent and the trigger and existence of
presupposition. In the second self-paced reading study we found an interaction
effect between the two variables which might suggest that when the distance grew
it was more difficult to retrieve the antecedent of the presupposition.
