Table 2. Segmentation of the stimulus presentation for statistical analysis.
Segment 1 | Segment 2 | Segment 3 | Segment 4 | Segment 5 | Segment 6 | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Mean length /ms | 0–1000 | 1000–1745 | 1745–2340 | 2340–2995 | 2995–4140 | 4140–response |
SD | 130 ms | 135 ms | 130 ms | 151 ms | 114 ms | |
Sentence | Pictures | “The wet duck reprimands the loyal dog.” | Response |
The pictures were presented alone during segment 1. During segments 2 to 5, the acoustical sentence was presented in addition to the pictures. In Segment 6 the pictures were still shown but the acoustical stimulus had ended and the participant was encouraged to respond. The mean length (in ms) and corresponding standard deviation (SD) of each segment were calculated over all sentences. The table is adapted from Wendt et al. [6] in a modified version.
