单词迷宫由一系列帧组成，每个帧包含两个备选方案。受试者被要求根据实验者定义的标准从这些选项中选择一个。这项简单的技术可用于调查广泛的问题。例如，如果一个备选方案是单词，而另一个是非单词，则可能要求受试者按一个键来指示单词在哪里。这提供了词汇判断任务的一个有趣的变种，因为词汇辨别的难度可以通过改变非单词替代的属性在逐次尝试的基础上进行操纵。另一方面，如果每个连续的帧包含一个可以继续句子的单词，那么就会创建一个版本的自定进度阅读任务，并且要求受试者识别哪个单词是。再一次，通过操纵不正确备选方案的属性，一个人可能能够控制受试者采用的处理模式。虽然这是一种高度人工的阅读形式，但它确实允许人们在更严格控制的条件下研究句子的处理。
A word maze consists of a sequence of frames, each containing two alternatives. Subjects are required to select one of those alternatives according to some criterion defined by the experimenter. This simple technique can be used to investigate a wide range of issues. For example, if one alternative is a word and the other is a nonword, the subject may be required to press a key to indicate where the word is. This provides an interesting variant of the lexical decision task, since the difficulty of the lexical discrimination can be manipulated on a trial-by-trial basis by varying the properties of the nonword alternative. On the other hand, a version of a self-paced reading task is created if each successive frame contains a word that can continue a sentence, and the subject is required to identify which word that is. Once again, by manipulating the properties of the incorrect alternative one may be able to control the mode of processing adopted by the subject. Although this is a highly artificial form of reading, it does allow one to study the sentence processing under more tightly controlled conditions.
