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.
