Which of the following students provides the most accurate description of the good enough approach to language comprehension?
a. Madison: People process language in a very cautious fashion, so that we can create meaning that is highly accurate.
b. Mary Beth: A large portion of language is ambiguous; we therefore struggle to interpret these ambiguities, until our comprehension is complete.
c. Zachary: English has so many irregular pronunciations that it is difficult to read at a level that is highly accurate.
d. Ilia: People typically process only part of a sentence, and this strategy typically works well, but not perfectly.
Question 2
According to the current explanation for how we process an ambiguous word,
a. we typically ignore ambiguity until after we have completely processed the sentence.
b. context constrains the activation of alternative meanings from the very beginning of processing. Therefore, many alternative meanings are never really considered.
c. activation builds up equally for all meanings of an ambiguous item.
d. initially activation builds up for the most familiar meanings of a word; then context helps to eliminate the irrelevant meanings.
