The results are depicted separately for all blocks (lower part) and the first block (upper part). Significant effects are highlighted by the bold type. Mean acceptability ratings and mean reading times (in ms) for each word and the standard error of the mean (SEM) computed according to a method proposed by Cousineau (2005) for within-participants designs are presented
