Abstract

The Ss in this study listened to groups of ten syntactically homogeneous sentences mixed with white noise. An anomalous test sentence followed each group of ten. Perception scores for the test sentences showed that changes in both surface structure and base structure can significantly disrupt perception. Changes in surface structure have the stronger effect. These findings provide evidence for the psychological reality of some abstract properties of stimuli.
