Blakar, R. M. Context effects and coding stations in sentence processing. Scand. J. Psychol., 1973, 14, 103–105.‐Using a proof‐reading technique, with a sentence split up in such a way that the 16 subjects participating had to correct each typing error at different coding stations within the sentence, it was found: (a) Extending the context perceived represented an active process, where every new part included in the context influenced the element processed (at the moment); even total re‐structuring of the interpretation of an element was evident. (b) Some of the coding points artificially introduced by the technique represented adequate coding stations, while others did not, either because they resulted in uncertainty as regards the missing “letter” or gave misleading interpretations. The critical difference between adequate and inadequate coding stations would appear to lie in the varying access given at each point to relevant context.
