Abstract:	Brown, Fanselow, Hall and Kliegl (2021) suggest that the syntactic satiation effect arises irrespective of sentence type, for those sentences whose acceptability status falls in the mid-zone range of a discrete Likert scale. They further propose to treat it as a ‘mere exposure’ effect, but it remains unclear why repeated exposure only targets the stimuli in the mid-zone area. In this note, I argue that mid-scale ratings form a region of highest uncertainty as reflected in maximum variance in speakers’ ratings compared to the other regions of the scale. Satiation may consequently be seen as an exposure effect targeting the most unstable or ‘volatile’ portion of the judgments.
