受试者在阅读含有句法歧义的句子时，记录了13个头皮部位的事件相关电位。在实验1中，从句法上消除与偏爱的句法分析不一致的词的歧义可以激发出一种正向脑电位(P600)。实验2考察了句法歧义的消解方式是基于短语结构的最小依恋原则，还是特定于词的次范类信息。P600波幅是次范畴化偏向的函数，而不是句法复杂性的函数。这些发现表明，这种偏见是存在的，并且在一定条件下会影响句法分析者，P600波幅是句子的句法良好性感知的函数。
Event-related potentials were recorded from 13 scalp locations while participants read sentences containing a syntactic ambiguity. In Experiment 1, syntactically disambiguating words that were inconsistent with the ''favored'' syntactic analysis elicited a positive-going brain potential (P600). Experiment 2 examined whether syntactic ambiguities are resolved by application of a phrase-structure-based minimal attachment principle or by word-specific subcategorization information. P600 amplitude was a function of subcategorization biases rather than syntactic complexity. These findings indicate that such biases exist and can influence the parser under certain conditions and that P600 amplitude is a function of the perceived syntactic well-formedness of the sentence.
