Thesis (M.A.)--Wayne State University, 2008.

A linguistic version of the change-detection paradigm was used to examine good enough representation. Participants read sentence pairs where a subject noun (e.g., flower) could change in the second sentence to a superordinate noun (e.g., plant), a subordinate noun (e.g. rose), an unrelated noun (e.g., prince ), or remain the same (direct translation in the bilingual task). This was completed in English for monolinguals and cross-linguistically for bilinguals, where the first sentence appeared in English (L1) and the second in French (L2). The linguistic focus of the sentence was also manipulated.

520 $a A linguistic version of the change-detection paradigm was used to examine good enough representation. Participants read sentence pairs where a subject noun (e.g., flower) could change in the second sentence to a superordinate noun (e.g., plant), a subordinate noun (e.g. rose), an unrelated noun (e.g., prince ), or remain the same (direct translation in the bilingual task). This was completed in English for monolinguals and cross-linguistically for bilinguals, where the first sentence appeared in English (L1) and the second in French (L2). The linguistic focus of the sentence was also manipulated.
520 $a It was expected that focused changes would be detected more, as would changes to unrelated words, both of which were confirmed with both samples. Also, proficiency was found to have a positive relationship with accuracy, whereby more proficient participants were more accurate. Subordinate-level changes were the least accurately detected (because of their inclusion in the basic-level term), which was clearly the case with the bilingual data. These results are in line with a similar study conducted by Sturt, Sanford, Stewart and Dawydiak (2004) and support Ferreira, Bailey and Ferraro's (2002) notion of Good Enough Representation and Hobbs' (1985) granularity account.
