Example
- For example, in research published by Jones and Atchley (2002), subjects were asked to study words such as "checklist" and "needlepoint". They then incorrectly recognized the unstudied word "ckeckpoint". Conjunction errors have been observed for both verbal material (words, sentences) and nonverbal material, such as faces.
