How much time passes before recall in that study? In think Kintsch had something along these lines showing that narrative-level and pragmatic factors like implicature play a role in reports given 1-4 days later (maybe here? doi.org/10.1016/0749.... )

...Second, Junyuan Zhao shows how phrasal categories can be decoded from EEG signals and finds that, unlike evoked correlates of phrase-structure, such representations dissociate from semantic similarity (and predictability). Out now in the Journal of Neuroscience!
Decoding the Neural Dynamics of Headed Syntactic Structure Building
The brain builds hierarchical phrases during language comprehension; however, the representational details and dynamics of the phrase-building process remain underspecified. This study directly probes...
