Abstract
Normals display selective deficits in morphology and syntax under adverse p rocessing conditions. Digit loads do not impair processing of passives and object relatives but do impair processing of grammatical morphemes. Percept ual degradation and temporal compression selectively impair several aspects of grammar, including passives and object relatives. Hence we replicate Ca plan & Water's specific findings but reach opposite conclusions, based on w ider evidence.
