These sentences are used in studies assessing the degree to which people use event models in making judgments from memory. There are four versions of each sentence, grouped into two pairs. One pair are Confusable sentences that differ in their wording, but are often interpreted as referring to the same event. The other pair are Nonconfusable sentences that differ in their wording in the same way as the confusable sentences, but which are unlikely to be interpreted as referring to the same event.
