This paper describes a number of simulations which
show that SRN representations exhibit interactions
between m e m o r y and sentence and clause
boundaries reminiscent of effects described in the
early psycholinguistic literature (Jarvella, 1971;
Caplan, 1972). Moreover, these effects can be
accounted for by the intrinsic properties of srn
representations without the need to invoke external
memory mechanisms, as has conventionally been
done.
