Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>This chapter reviews the use of reading time and reaction time techniques to study sentence level comprehension in second-language learners and other bi/multilinguals. Techniques include grammaticality and acceptability judgment tasks (GJT/AJT), self-paced reading (SPR), and Maze tasks. Using examples from prior research, we will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using such techniques, and the types of questions that can be addressed using these methods. In addition, we will discuss issues related to methodology and the interpretation of data, such as spillover effects, power, and their implications for interpreting group differences</jats:p>
