| Demo | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Kid-friendly reading | A version for children (8–12): guided practice with tips, key badges, two short passages with pictures, a progress bar, and pause/stop buttons. See A-maze for kids. |
| Targeted sentences with results | Relative-clause and adverb attachment ambiguities in redo mode, then a graph of your own RTs at each word. |
| Target and filler sentences | Items from Maze Made Easy, traditional style: a mistake ends the sentence (redo: false). |
| Short vignettes | Multi-sentence items from Altmann and Steedman (1988), where context affects how an ambiguity is resolved. |
| Natural Stories story | A passage from the Natural Stories corpus, with distractors from A-Maze of Natural Stories. |
