Most current accounts of language comprehension agree on a role for prediction, but they
disagree on the importance of domain-general executive resources in predictive behavior. In …

Much research in cognitive neuroscience supports prediction as a canonical computation of
cognition across domains. Is such predictive coding implemented by feedback from higher …

Abstract MA Just and PA Carpenter's (1992) capacity theory of comprehension posits a
linguistic working memory functionally separated from the representation of linguistic …

Language in old age has been an active research area since early experimental
investigations in cognitive aging (eg, Craik & Masani, 1967; Riegel & Riegel, 1964). This is …

During sentence comprehension, older adults are less likely than younger adults to predict
features of likely upcoming words. A pair of experiments assessed whether such differences …

Effective listening comprehension not only requires processing local linguistic input, but also
necessitates incorporating contextual cues available in the global communicative …

Non-native speakers have lower linguistic competence than native speakers, which renders
their language less reliable in conveying their intentions. We suggest that expectations of …

Many word forms map onto multiple meanings (eg,“ace”). The current experiments explore
the extent to which adults reshape the lexical–semantic representations of such words on …

Older adults' ability to perceive, comprehend, and produce language has been an area of
interest to researchers in recent years. One of the core questions under study has been …

The current study reports the effects of accumulating contextual constraints on neural indices
of lexico-semantic processing (ie, effects of word frequency and orthographic neighborhood) …
