is ha he e b seems o be “a ac ed” o he plu al numbe
o he p eceding noun when i misma ches he numbe o he

he plu al ea u e o he local noun may o e ide he de aul
assignmen by being mis akenly de ec ed by he e b-ag eemen

Bock e al., 2001).
In comp ehension s udies, a ac ion e ec s ha e been
demons a ed mainly in he o m o “g amma ical illusions.”
Thus, sen ences, such as “The key o he cabine s ∗a e . . .,” seem o
be p ocessed as e , as shown in eac ion ime (e.g., Wage s e al.,

Such illusions ha e also been explained by a ea u e pe cola ion
accoun ha assumes e oneous pe cola ion in o a subjec noun

Howe e , he e a e indings o sugges ha e en in
