Experiment 2: Average (SE) proportions of fixations to the objects in the visual display between mean verb onset and mean direct object noun offset with adjective-consistent sentences (A), and to the locally coherent adjective competitor object in the adjective-consistent vs. adjective-inconsistent condition in a zoomed in window (proportions plotted to .20) between adjective onset and mean direct object noun offset (B). In the adjective-consistent condition, the locally coherent competitor (e.g., white car) was consistent with the adjective in the sentence (e.g., “The boy will eat the white cake”), whereas in the adjective-inconsistent condition, this competitor was inconsistent with the adjective in the sentence (e.g., “The boy will eat the brown cake”). Fixations were resynchronized at the onset of each word, and extend to the average offset of each word.
