Quiz 11 Question 1 1 / 1 pts Research suggests that young children learning the English past tense tend to progress through three broad stages. Which statement best fits with the empirical findings? Regular verbs are produced with many errors during Stage 1 Stage 1 is characterized by the most error productions for irregular verbs Correct! Stage 2 is characterized by the most error productions for irregular verbs Regular verbs are produced with many errors during Stage 2 Question 2 1 / 1 pts For the surface form “The homework was not completed by the student,” which statement is likely closest to the deep structure (i.e., which is the kernel sentence)? The homework was completed by the student Correct! The student completed the homework The student failed the homework

The student did not complete the homework Question 3 1 / 1 pts Imagine one person (the director) is explaining to another (the matcher) how to assemble small sets of Legos into specific shapes. The director and matcher can mutually converse but can’t see each other. A third person (the overhearer) is also trying to assemble the right shapes but can’t say anything or see the others. Research suggests: Because they hear the same verbal content, the matcher’s and overhearer’s performance will be indistinguishable Because he can focus on the instructions without the pressure to produce verbal responses, the overhearer will perform better than the matcher Garden-path effects arise due to the minimal attachment principle Correct! The overhearer will consistently under-perform the matcher, due to inability to ground with the director Question 4 1 / 1 pts Alicia is playing a competitive strategy game, in which the winner is the player who ends with the most points. On her current turn, she has identified two possible moves: one that grants her 12 points immediately, and another that changes her position but grants no points. If she is using the hill- climbing heuristic , she will Correct! Select the 12-point move, regardless of other factors

Select the 12-point move, if she can verify that her subsequent position doesn’t require taking on negative points Select the no-points move, regardless of other factors Select the no-points move, if it opens up opportunities to score more points later Question 5 1 / 1 pts In general, participants express greater difficulty parsing “The horse raced past the barn fell,” than they do parsing “The landmine buried in the sand exploded.” This implies that: Sentence parsing is driven almost entirely by syntax Correct! Participants’ expectations of different syntactic structures are affected by the specific words used The landmine example requires a simpler world model than does the horse- racing example Garden-path effects arise due to the minimal attachment principle Question 6 1 / 1 pts Imagine that participants are given a tough riddle, the solution to which requires that a quarter be inserted into the groove of a standard-head screw
