Table 2.

Probabilities in Experiment 2 of fixating on, or launching saccades towards, the spatial regions corresponding to where the table, the glass, or the distractor had been, calculated at the onset of the postverbal region (fixation analysis), during the postverbal region (saccadic analysis), during the sentence-final noun phrase (saccadic analysis), and at the offset of that noun phrase (fixation analysis). Numbers in parentheses indicate absolute number of trials on which a fixation on, or saccade to, each region was observed. For each scene, the regions of interest corresponding to where the table, glass, or distractor had been were identically sized.
