Abstract
Reading is a complex task involving the integration of many different sources of information ranging from visual to discourse-level. When those sources of information are used has implications for the architecture of the language processing system. To explore the flexibility of the language processing system, subjects were asked to read sentences in which color cues provided information about words' syntactic part-of-speech. Having the color cues present sped-up reading, which suggests the language processing system is able to make use of information as it becomes available even if it is made available before it would normally be so.
