本文讨论了平稳（非波动）噪声对句子的处理和理解的影响，这些句子的句法复杂性各不相同（具有规范性，嵌入性，歧义性等因素）。它提供了来自两个RT研究的数据，44名参与者在安静和噪音中测试德语句子的处理。结果表明，噪声的影响更强的处理结构上的困难比句法上简单的句子的部分。这可以通过减少的声学信息和对认知资源的增加的压力的组合来解释，例如由噪声引起的工作记忆或注意力。嵌入式句子的噪声效应小于非嵌入式句子，这可能是由于韵律信息的好处。
This paper discusses the influence of stationary (non-fluctuating) noise on processing and understanding of sentences, which vary in their syntactic complexity (with the factors canonicity, embedding, ambiguity). It presents data from two RT-studies with 44 participants testing processing of German sentences in silence and in noise. Results show a stronger impact of noise on the processing of structurally difficult than on syntactically simpler parts of the sentence. This may be explained by a combination of decreased acoustical information and an increased strain on cognitive resources, such as working memory or attention, which is caused by noise. The noise effect for embedded sentences is less than for non-embedded sentences, which may be explained by a benefit from prosodic information.
