When participants follow spoken instructions to pick up and move objects in a visual
workspace, their eye movements to the objects are closely time-locked to referential …

Two experiments explored the mapping between language and mental representations of
visual scenes. In both experiments, participants viewed, for example, a scene depicting a …

Reduced hearing acuity is among the most prevalent of chronic medical conditions among
older adults. An experiment is reported in which comprehension of spoken sentences was …

Languages differ in how they encode motion. When describing bounded motion, English
speakers typically use verbs that convey information about manner (eg, slide, skip, walk) …

Eyetracking paradigms in both written and spoken modalities are the state of the art for
online behavioral investigations of language comprehension. But it is almost a misnomer to …

Recent studies have shown that listeners use verbs and other predicate terms to anticipate
reference to semantic entities during real-time language comprehension. This process …

Recently developed accounts of language comprehension propose that sentences are
understood by constructing a perceptual simulation of the events being described. These …

A head-mounted eye-tracking methodology was used to investigate how linguistic and
nonlinguistic information sources are combined to constrain referential interpretation. In two …

To study the time course of sentence formulation, we monitored the eye movements of
speakers as they described simple events. The similarity between speakers' initial eye …

When listeners follow spoken instructions to manipulate real objects, their eye movements to
the objects are closely time locked to the referring words. We review five experiments …
