Answered by maham237 @



Answer:

Miller and Isard experiment showed that listener's ability to accurately report the phrase was the highest for the grammatical sentences, then for anomalous sentences and the lowest for the ungrammatical word strings.

Though it would be expected that people would rather remember a piece of information that makes sense, they prove to be receptive to the structure of the sentence on higher scale.
