Description
Enter a short description of this experiment. It's useful to explain what this experiment measures, what stimuli are used, and how participants respond. Also consider including any information about limitations or restrictions on the use of this experiment
These materials relate to a pre-registration of the paper that will be
Darmasetiyawan, I.M.S, Messenger, K., & Ambridge, B. (20xx). Is adults’ passive syntax semantically constrained? A pre-registered replication of Messenger et al (2012).
In this study, we will replicate Experiment 2: Theme–experiencer primes vs. experiencer–theme primes from
Messenger, K., Branigan, H. P., McLean, J. F., & Sorace, A. (2012). Is young children’s passive syntax semantically constrained? Evidence from syntactic priming. Journal of Memory and Language, 66(4), 568-587.
(1) We will test only adults (18+), rather than (in the original study) adults and children; native speakers of British English. (2) We will recruit 240 participants, rather than (in the original study) 24. Simulations based on the original raw data from Messenger et al (2012) and reported here found that 240 participants are required to yield at least 95% power for detecting a significant effect of the cruicial interaction (PrimeTypeP:VerbTypeTE') – Point estimate = 100%, 95 Confidence Interval = (83.16, 100.0). (3) We will run the study entirely online using the Gorilla platform
Participants take turns with a (virtual) experimenter to describe pictures, with some trials forming a "snap" game. For full details of the method, see Messenger et al (2012).
