The good-enough language processing approach emphasizes people's tendency to
generate superficial and even inaccurate interpretations of sentences. At the same time, a …

For more than a decade, views of sentence comprehension have been shifting toward wider
acceptance of a role for linguistic pre‐processing–that is, anticipation, expectancy,(neural) …

We consider several key aspects of prediction in language comprehension: its
computational nature, the representational level (s) at which we predict, whether we use …

Prediction is often regarded as an integral aspect of incremental language comprehension,
but little is known about the cognitive architectures and mechanisms that support it. We …

People comprehend utterances rapidly and without conscious effort. Traditional theories
assume that sentence processing is algorithmic and that meaning is derived …

Current theories of language processing emphasize prediction as a mechanism to facilitate
comprehension, which contrasts with the state of the field a few decades ago, when …

To comprehend language, we continually use prior context to pre-activate expected
upcoming information, resulting in facilitated processing of incoming words that confirm …

Research has shown that people anticipate upcoming linguistic content, but most work to
date has focused on relatively short-range expectation-driven processes within the current …

Predictive processing is a critical component of language comprehension, but exactly how
and why comprehenders generate lexical predictions remains to be determined. Here, we …

This paper investigates the role of resource allocation as a source of processing difficulty in
human sentence comprehension. The paper proposes a simple information-theoretic …
