    Author : Alexander Jansson; [2023]
    Keywords : Linguistics; Disfluency; Cognitive Science; Reaction Time; Hyponomy; Attention; Entropy;

Two experiments were conducted, withthe first experiment examining the impact of disfluencies on RTs to target words in utterances, whilethe second experiment explored their effect on hyponyms of target hypernyms.
