This study evaluates two broad classes of language processing accounts that make
predictions for sentences like “The admirer of the singer (s) apparently thinks...”. Feature …

According to cue-based retrieval theories of sentence comprehension, establishing the
syntactic dependency between a verb and the grammatical subject is susceptible to …

Cue-based retrieval theories of sentence processing posit that long-distance dependency
formation is guided by a cue-based retrieval mechanism: dependents are retrieved via …

Two classes of account have been proposed to explain the memory processes subserving
the processing of reflexive-antecedent dependencies. Structure-based accounts assume …

Language processing requires memory retrieval to integrate current input with previous
context and making predictions about upcoming input. We propose that prediction and …

Previous research has found that comprehenders sometimes predict information that is
grammatically unlicensed by sentence constraints. An open question is why such …

Older adults demonstrate a slower speed of linguistic processing, including sentence
processing. In nonlinguistic cognitive domains such as memory, research suggests that age …

Cue-based parsing theories posit that dependency resolution during real-time sentence
comprehension relies on cue-based retrieval of linguistic items encoded in memory. This …

Research on human language converges on a view in which a grammatical “subject” is the
most saliently encoded entity in mental representation. However, subjecthood is not a …

Patient studies and brain stimulation evidence suggest that language processing can be
enhanced by altering the interhemispheric balance: namely, preferentially enhancing left …
