Abstract
Intra-sentence contingency effects on the processing of sentences were examined by means of a technique which involved using the Eye-Voice Span (EVS) as a unit of decoding in oral reading. Target sentences, one half active and one half passive, were embedded in paragraphs which subjects read aloud. It was found that the EVS varied in accordance with intra-sentence constraints ; specifically, (1) the EVS was found to be greater in the more highly constrained passive form ; and (2) the EVS varied in accordance with the size and location of constituent boundaries within each form.
