judgment fatigue summary part ii stromswold ross tang boyland asley following found especially informative quotes four individual respondents gave specific comments regarding types stimuli tend induce judgment fatigue kimberly barskaitiki also sent long specific detailed response many interesting examples thank response included presented fewer strong testable theoretical claims must note ross beasley quoted without expressed permission hereby beseech authors belated dispensations post comments charitable light hope sharing author experience information graduate student mit 1986 wrote paper phenomenon described course took merrill garrett dubbed phenomenon syntactic satiation nod work semantic satiation widely studied phenomenon words loose meaning repeated presentation e g repeat word snow 20 times starts sounding funny cant come many semantically associated words like ice cold study nt rigorously done never attempted publish paper called syntactic satiation discovered 1 repeated judgments subjects judgments got less certain reliable subjects explicitly said nt sure anymore even subjects lost confidence judgments made mistakes got much slower making judgments 2 syntactic satiation seems relatively specific example subjects make repeated judgments whquestions e g thatt long distance island etc found ability judge whquestiosn impaired ability judge stimuli e g double object datives 3 satiation occur subjects asked make judgments semantic plausibility implausible sentences involved violations animacy restrictions e g juice spilled child stained rug 4 also nt get clear evidence satiation morphological level e g asking subjects judge sentences case tense violations e g gave give book 5 rate presentation seemed important factor inducing satiation subjects urged go quickly satiate faster goes along findings semantic satiation whether semantic priming satiation occurs seems depend rate presentation least part 6 forced make ungraded judgments e good vs bad intermediate judgments allowed also seemed induce faster satiation 7 satiation seems temporary although cant say refractory period probably less 1 month interval retested 8 nt detect satiation gave
