The Role of Case Syncretism in Agreement Attraction: A Comprehension Study [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 Many production and comprehension experiments have studied attraction errors in agreement, primarily in number (e.g., “The key to the cabinets were rusty”). Studies on gender agreement attraction are still sparse, especially in comprehension.

Error-Driven Retrieval in Agreement Attraction Rarely Leads to Misinterpretation [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2019 Previous work on agreement computation in sentence comprehension motivates a model in which the parser predicts the verb’s number and engages in retrieval of the agreement controller only when it detects a mismatch between the prediction and the bottom ...

Gender Agreement Attraction in Greek Comprehension [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2020 This work explores gender agreement attraction in comprehension. Attraction occurs when an agreement error (such as, “the key to the cabinets are rusty”) goes unnoticed, leading to the illusion of grammaticality due to a mismatch between the value of the

Hierarchical structure and memory mechanisms in agreement attraction. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 Speakers occasionally produce verbs that agree with an element that is not the subject, a so-called 'attractor'; likewise, comprehenders occasionally fail to notice agreement errors when the verb agrees with the attractor.

Not All Phrases Are Equally Attractive: Experimental Evidence for Selective Agreement Attraction Effects [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2018 Research on memory retrieval during sentence comprehension suggests that similarity-based interference is mediated by the grammatical function of the distractor. For instance, Van Dyke and McElree (2011) observed interference during retrieval for subject-

Dependency-dependent interference: NPI interference, agreement attraction, and global pragmatic inferences [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2013 Previous psycholinguistics studies have shown that when forming a long distance dependency in online processing, the parser sometimes accepts a sentence even though the required grammatical constraints are only partially met. A mechanistic account of how

The role of minority language bilingualism in spotting agreement attraction errors: Evidence from Italian varieties. [PDF]
PLoS ONEBilingual adaptations remain a subject of ongoing debate, with varying results reported across cognitive domains. A possible way to disentangle the apparent inconsistency of results is to focus on the domain of language processing, which is what the ...
