Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The phonemic restoration effect occurs when a phoneme (sound) is missing from a word, but the listener's brain fills in the missing sound based on contextual cues. An extraneous cough would simulate the missing sound and test if the listener's brain still fills in the missing sound even when it is present in the environment.

Answer: D
 A garden-path sentence is a sentence that starts in a way that suggests one interpretation, but then becomes ambiguous and potentially leads the listener down the wrong path. This type of sentence could be used in an experiment on the phonemic restoration effect because it would test if the listener's brain is able to use contextual cues to correctly interpret the sentence, even when it starts off in a misleading way.
