Jocelyn is participating in a preferential looking procedure in a lab. She sits in her mother's lap and hears a voice from a speaker say sentences like "The girl patted the dog." She shows a preference for looking at pictures that match the spoken sentence rather than at pictures that do not match (e.g., a girl walking a dog on a leash). Based on studies using the preferential looking procedure and also naturalistic observations, Jocelyn's spontaneous spoken language is likely to contain many sentences __________.
◦ of the same length and syntactic complexity as the test sentences
◦ that are greater in length and syntactic complexity than the test sentences, such as "The girl patted the dog gently"
◦ that are shorter and less syntactically complex than the test sentences, such as "Girl pat dog."
◦ that contain the same words, but in random order, such as "The girl the dog patted."
