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 …

The effect of research findings concerning language comprehension on the understanding
of the organization of cognition is examined. Principles underlying general cognitive …

Three eye-tracking experiments using the 'visual-world'paradigm are described that explore
the basis by which thematic dependencies can be evaluated in advance of linguistic input …

While much work has been done investigating the role of context in the incremental
processing of syntactic indeterminacies, relatively little is known about online semantic …

Using sentence comprehension as a case study for all of cognitive science, David
Townsend and Thomas Bever offer an integration of two major approaches, the symbolic …

All other things being equal the parser favors attaching an ambiguous modifier to the most
recent possible site. A plausible explanation is that locality preferences such as this arise in …

Natural languages contain probabilistic constraints that influence the resolution of
ambiguities. Current models of sentence processing agree that probabilistic constraints …

I should clarify at the outset what I mean by the term parser. I take this to refer specifically to
tht: structure building system that it used in sentence recognition, and not to the many other …

There is general agreement within the neuroscience and cognitive-science communities that
complex multidimensional stimuli are represented and processed in at least partially …

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 …
