当读者阅读含有不同频率的名词-名词复合词的句子时，他们的眼球运动被监测(例如，电梯机械师、美洲狮)。复合词的左边成分在它出现的点上作为中心名词是可信的或不可信的，而复合词作为一个整体总是可信的。当对左侧成分的中心名词分析不可信时，从第一次注视开始，这个词的阅读时间就被夸大了。这一发现与之前证明的似是而非对眼球运动的快速影响是一致的。复合频率没有调节似然效应，当读者的视线移到下一个单词时，所有干扰都被解决了。这些发现表明(Contra Kennison，2005)语法分析器最初将单数名词分析为中心语，而不是修饰语。此外，研究结果证实，真实性对眼动的快速影响不是由于策略因素，因为在目前的实验中，与之前的演示不同，这种影响出现在总体上可信的句子中。
Readers' eye movements were monitored as they read sentences containing noun-noun compounds that varied in frequency (e.g., elevator mechanic, mountain lion). The left constituent of the compound was either plausible or implausible as a head noun at the point at which it appeared, whereas the compound as a whole was always plausible. When the head noun analysis of the left constituent was implausible, reading times on this word were inflated, beginning with the first fixation. This finding is consistent with previous demonstrations of very rapid effects of plausibility on eye movements. Compound frequency did not modulate the plausibility effect, and all disruption was resolved by the time readers' eyes moved to the next word. These findings suggest (contra Kennison, 2005) that the parser initially analyzes a singular noun as a head instead of a modifier. In addition, the findings confirm that the very rapid effect of plausibility on eye movements is not due to strategic factors, because in the present experiment, unlike in previous demonstrations, this effect appeared in sentences that were globally plausible.
