RootTask 5 Sentences Prior&Markus (2014)
The participant will be presented with a sentence that ends with either one of the two
incongruent words. One of the words is derived from the same root as the 'expected' word
that is 'activated', while the other word would be derived from a different root. The
participant is asked to choose whether the sentence makes sense or not. It is hypothesised
that when the ending is derived from the same root as the expected word, greater response
delay and more errors would ensue.
