[HTML][HTML] Are words pre-activated probabilistically during sentence comprehension? Evidence from new data and a Bayesian random-effects meta-analysis using …

B Nicenboim, S Vasishth, F Rösler - Neuropsychologia, 2020 - Elsevier
Several studies (eg, Wicha et al., 2003b; DeLong et al., 2005) have shown that readers use
information from the sentential context to predict nouns (or some of their features), and that …

How well does surprisal explain N400 amplitude under different experimental conditions?

JA Michaelov, BK Bergen - arXiv preprint arXiv:2010.04844, 2020 - arxiv.org
We investigate the extent to which word surprisal can be used to predict a neural measure of
human language processing difficulty-the N400. To do this, we use recurrent neural …

Comprehending surprising sentences: sensitivity of post-N400 positivities to contextual congruity and semantic relatedness

KA DeLong, M Kutas - Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2020 - Taylor & Francis
Any proposal for predictive language comprehension must address receipt of less expected
information. While a relationship between the N400 and sentence predictability is well …

Expectation-based comprehension: Modeling the interaction of world knowledge and linguistic experience

NJ Venhuizen, MW Crocker, H Brouwer - Discourse Processes, 2019 - Taylor & Francis
The processing difficulty of each word we encounter in a sentence is affected by both our
prior linguistic experience and our general knowledge about the world. Computational …

Lexical prediction in language comprehension: A replication study of grammatical gender effects in Dutch

AR Kochari, M Flecken - Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2019 - Taylor & Francis
An important question in predictive language processing is the extent to which prediction
effects can reliably be measured on pre-nominal material (eg articles before nouns). Here …

Specific lexico-semantic predictions are associated with unique spatial and temporal patterns of neural activity

L Wang, G Kuperberg, O Jensen - elife, 2018 - elifesciences.org
We used Magnetoencephalography (MEG) in combination with Representational Similarity
Analysis to probe neural activity associated with distinct, item-specific lexico-semantic …

Prediction (or not) during language processing. A commentary on Nieuwland et al.(2017) and DeLong et al.(2005)

S Yan, GR Kuperberg, TF Jaeger - BioRxiv, 2017 - biorxiv.org
The extent to which language processing involves prediction of upcoming inputs remains a
question of ongoing debate. One important data point comes from who reported that an …

[HTML][HTML] Lingering expectations: A pseudo-repetition effect for words previously expected but not presented

J Rommers, KD Federmeier - NeuroImage, 2018 - Elsevier
Prediction can help support rapid language processing. However, it is unclear whether
prediction has downstream consequences, beyond processing in the moment. In particular …

Balancing prediction and sensory input in speech comprehension: the spatiotemporal dynamics of word recognition in context

A Klimovich-Gray, LK Tyler, B Randall… - Journal of …, 2019 - Soc Neuroscience
Spoken word recognition in context is remarkably fast and accurate, with recognition times
of∼ 200 ms, typically well before the end of the word. The neurocomputational mechanisms …
