ABSTRACT
Many psycholinguistic tasks involve linguistic units larger than words as test materials. In this chapter, seven tasks that use sentences or larger units as test materials are discussed. While phonological or lexical issues are explored in some of these tasks, such as the word monitoring task and the cross-modal priming paradigm, most of them are used to study sentence processing and the representation and processing of morphosyntactic knowledge. These are certainly not the only sentence-based RT tasks. Many other RT tasks involving sentences or discourses are used in language processing research such as syntactic or structural priming (Corley & Scheepers, 2002), sentence verification (Glass, Millen, Beck, & Eddy, 1985; Goolkasian, 1996), coherence judgment (Ferstl, 2006), and the maze task (Forster, Guerrera, & Elliot, 2009), to name just a few.
