最近对句子加工的研究使用跨模式词汇判断任务表明，语音上空的名词短语的先行词(具体地说，WH-TRACE)在轨迹位置被重新激活。G.McKoon，R.Ratcliff和G.Ward(1994)声称：(A)关于选择相关和不相关目标的设计特征是本工作中可能存在的混淆；(B)从先前研究得出的结论因此受到质疑。这些说法是根据McKoon等人的S的实验结果和我们自己的实验结果来考虑的，我们在实验中测试了他们的语言材料。我们认为，他们的结果可能是由于他们的材料的性质。此外，我们认为G.McKoon和R.Ratcliff(1994)报道的后续实验使用了一种不能与跨通道词汇判断任务相比较的技术。结论是，目前的证据支持这样的说法，即在线句子处理过程中使用了结构信息，并且跨通道技术对此很敏感。
Recent investigations of sentence processing have used the cross-modal lexical decision task to show that the antecedent of a phonologically empty noun phrase (specifically, WH-trace) is reactivated at the trace position. G. McKoon, R. Ratcliff, and G. Ward (1994) claimed that (a) a design feature concerning the choice of related and unrelated targets is a possible confound in this work and (b) the conclusions drawn from this previous research are therefore called into question. These claims are considered in light of both McKoon et al.’s experimental findings and results of our own experiments in which we test their linguistic materials. We argue that their results may be due to the nature of their materials. Additionally, we argue that a follow-up experiment reported by G. McKoon and R. Ratcliff (1994) used a technique that is not comparable to the cross-modal lexical decision task. It is concluded that current evidence supports the claim that structural information is used during on-line sentence processing and that the cross-modal technique is sensitive to this.
