Table 1.

Example auditory instructions for Experiments 1 and 2. Capitalization indicates the critical accenting manipulation. Accents also fell on the theme and destination in the context sentence, and on the words Now and the destination shape in the second sentence.

Instructions
Nonanaphoric, Accented Put the bacon on the star. Now put the BAGEL on the square.
Nonanaphoric, Unaccented Put the bacon on the star. Now put the bagel on the square.
Anaphoric, Accented Put the bacon on the star. Now put the BACON on the square.
Anaphoric, Unaccented Put the bacon on the star. Now put the bacon on the square.
Anaphoric, Pronominal Put the bacon on the star. Now put it on the square.

NOTE: In Experiment 1 accent on Now was manipulated as a third variable, but only the

accented-Now conditions are reported here, for direct comparison with Experiment 2.
