not always agree on what prediction is (and how to differentiate it from integration) or what …

Prediction is often regarded as an integral aspect of incremental language comprehension,
but little is known about the cognitive architectures and mechanisms that support it. We …

We present the case that language comprehension involves making simultaneous
predictions at different linguistic levels and that these predictions are generated by the …

Current theories of language processing emphasize prediction as a mechanism to facilitate

We consider several key aspects of prediction in language comprehension: its
computational nature, the representational level (s) at which we predict, whether we use …
