Diagrams depicting the structure of a single trial. a) Sentences were presented serially in triads, with the target word appearing in center of screen (Note: Interword spacing is not drawn to scale). Triads were visible for 100 ms, with a 350 ms interstimulus interval. b) The current word of the sentence was presented centrally, and each flanker word started 2° of visual angle from central fixation. c) The first set of analyses considers trials on which the target word appears in the parafovea, with the pre-target word at central fixation. On the next triad, which appeared 450 ms after the onset of the previous triad, the target word moved to central fixation, and a neutral post-target word appeared in the parafovea
