For Wednesday, 10/20, please read pgs. 203-213 of the following book chapter, which can be downloaded from the Readings section of this website (note that you’ll read pgs. 213-222 of this chapter for this Friday, October 22):

Whitney, Paul. 1998. The Psychology of Language, Chapter 7 (‘Sentence Processing’).

I’ve also uploaded a very short excerpt from an earlier chapter of this book, where the author defines the terms semantic priming and lexical decision, which appear in your assigned reading from Chapter 7.  You should read this short excerpt *first*.
