Empirical evidence demonstrating that sentence meaning is rapidly reconciled with the
visual environment has been broadly construed as supporting the seamless interaction of …

Evidence from numerous studies using the visual world paradigm has revealed both that
spoken language can rapidly guide attention in a related visual scene and that scene …

By examining a brief history of psycholinguistics and its various approaches to research on
sentence processing, we point to a general convergence toward evidence that multiple …

Little is known about the neural correlates of expository text comprehension. In this study, we
sought to identify neural networks underlying expository text comprehension, how those …

The present chapter reviews the literature on visually situated language comprehension
against the background that most theories of real-time sentence comprehension have …

Previous findings from the sentence-picture verification task demonstrated that
comprehenders simulate visual information about intrinsic attributes of described objects. Of …

Many psycholinguistic theories postulate that as a spoken linguistic message unfolds over
time, it is initially processed by modules that are encapsulated from information provided by …

Evidence from recent experiments that monitored attention in clipart scenes during spoken
comprehension suggests that people preferably rely on non-stereotypical depicted events …

The embodied view of language processing proposes that comprehension involves
multimodal simulations, a process that retrieves a comprehender's perceptual, motor, and …

Over the last 25 years, the visual world paradigm has enabled discoveries and theoretical
advances in spoken language processing. However, the intuitive interpretation of fixations in …
