The following sub-experiments were used in Parrish (2024): Statistical Insignificance is not wholesale transfer in L3 acquisition: A Conceptual Replication of Rothman (2011). The experiments were run using the Gorilla software. To reproduce the experiments, see https://support.gorilla.sc/support/publishing-and-open-science/open-materials#introducingopenmaterials.

Excerpt from Parrish (2024)
The Semantic Interpretation task was designed to measure the perception of how adjective-noun order impacts determiner phrase (DP) interpretation. In both Spanish and Portuguese, but not in English, whether an adjective is placed before a noun (el nuevo libro) or after the noun (el libro nuevo) can impact the meaning of the determiner phrase. For example, el libro nuevo refers to a book that has been newly acquired, but is not necessarily brand-new, where el neuvo libro does refer to a brand new book.
This task was recreated on the basis of the description of the same task in the original study.
In both the original study and the present replication, during a trial, the participants saw one prompt at a time on the screen with two answer choices.
The participants submitted their choice by clicking either of the two answer choices with the mouse.
Like the original study, the task contained 10 experimental items which tested in each of a prenominal (n = 5) and postnominal conditions (n = 5).
A full list of the stimuli used, along with the correct answers, can be found in the supplementary materials.
Below is an example taken of the Semantic interpretation task in Spanish taken directly from Rothman (2011).

Excerpt from Parrish (2024)
The Context-Based collocation task elicited production of adjectival DPs by way of context. The participants in the present replication read a short story and had to fill in a blank at the end of the story with either a pre or post nominal adjective. Like the Semantic Interpretation task, the participants saw one prompt at a time on the screen with two answer choices. The participants submitted their choice by clicking either of the two answer choices with the mouse. Like the original study, a total of 10 items were given to each participant, in which the correct answer of 5 items was a prenominal position and the remaining 5 were postnominal. Below is an example adapted from the Context-based Collocation Task in Spanish taken directly from Rothman (2011).
Example
Meus amigos não têm dinheiro. São _______________ (pobres amigos/amigos pobres).
My friends do not have money. They are ________(unfortunate friends/poor friends)
