说话者经常在出现与主语短语中心语的数字不同的地方名词时犯主谓数一致错误。一系列的四个实验使用了两个选择的反应时间（RT）的范例，以调查正确的协议决策的延迟是如何调制的存在下的一个数字吸引，并调查相对延迟的错误和正确的协议决定。数字吸引子的存在可靠地增加了正确的RT，并且在对准确性也有较大影响的条件下，这种RT效应的大小始终较大。然而，在相同的实验条件下，在RT纠正反应的数量吸引错误是相似的。这些结果被解释为支持一个模型，根据该模型，一个居间的数吸引子使得一致性计算过程在一般情况下更加困难[Eberhard，K. M.，卡特，JC，& Bock，K.（2005年）。理解句法：句子产生中的数字一致性。Psychological Review 112，531-559]，错误概率性地出现。然而，来自非干预名词的吸引力只导致正确RT轻微增加，但错误RT显着增加，这表明非干预吸引力错误可能反映了对主题短语结构的混乱。
Speakers frequently make subject–verb number agreement errors in the presence of a local noun with a different number from the head of the subject phrase. A series of four experiments used a two-choice response time (RT) paradigm to investigate how the latency of correct agreement decisions is modulated by the presence of a number attractor, and to investigate the relative latency of errors and correct agreement decisions. The presence of a number attractor reliably increased correct RT, and the size of this RT effect was consistently larger in conditions that also had larger effects on accuracy. Number attraction errors, however, were similar in RT to correct responses in the same experimental condition. These results are interpreted as supporting a model according to which an intervening number attractor makes the agreement computation process more difficult in general [Eberhard, K. M., Cutting, J. C., & Bock, K. (2005). Making sense of syntax: Number agreement in sentence production. Psychological Review112, 531–559], with errors arising probabilistically. However, attraction from a non-intervening noun resulted in only mildly inflated correct RT, but dramatically inflated error RT, suggesting that non-intervening attraction errors may reflect confusion about the structure of the subject phrase.
