Expectation-based theories of language processing, such as Surprisal theory, are supported
by evidence of anticipation effects in both behavioural and neurophysiological measures …

Expectation-based theories of language comprehension, in particular Surprisal Theory, go a
long way in accounting for the behavioral correlates of word-by-word processing difficulty …

Abstract Language comprehension can be facilitated by the accurate prediction of upcoming
words, but prediction effects are not ubiquitous, and comprehenders likely use predictive …

Because context has a robust influence on the processing of subsequent words, the idea
that readers and listeners predict upcoming words has attracted research attention, but …

Predictive processing is a core component of normal language comprehension, but the
brain may not engage in prediction to the same extent in all circumstances. This study …

During language comprehension, we routinely use information from the prior context to help
identify the meaning of individual words. While measures of online processing difficulty …

Amid increasing interest in the role of prediction in language comprehension, there remains
a gap in our understanding of what happens when predictions are disconfirmed. Are …

The integration of word meaning into an unfolding utterance representation is a core
operation of incremental language comprehension. There is considerable debate, however …

How do violations of predictability and plausibility affect online language processing? How
does it affect longer-term memory and learning when predictions are disconfirmed by …

Psycholinguistic research, like much of cognitive science, is in the midst of a vigorous inquiry
into the role of predictive mechanisms (DeLong, Urbach, & Kutas, 2005; Dikker, Rabagliati …
