It is well known that real-time human language processing is highly incremental and context-
driven, and that the strength of a comprehender's expectation for each word encountered is …

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 …

During real-time language comprehension, our minds rapidly decode complex meanings
from sequences of words. The difficulty of doing so is known to be related to words' …

A number of results in the study of realtime sentence comprehension have been explained
by computational models as resulting from the rational use of probabilistic linguistic …

Two eye movement while reading experiments address the issue of how reading of an
unpredictable word is influenced by the presence of a more predictable alternative. The …

A word's predictability in its context has a reliable influence on eye movements in reading.
This article reviews the extensive literature that has investigated this influence, focusing on …

Efficient language processing may involve generating expectations about upcoming input.
To investigate the extent to which prediction might facilitate reading, a large-scale survey …

A word's frequency of occurrence and its predictability from a prior context are key factors
determining how long the eyes remain on that word in normal reading. Past reaction-time …

Predictive processing is a critical component of language comprehension, but exactly how
and why comprehenders generate lexical predictions remains to be determined. Here, we …

What are the effects of word‐by‐word predictability on sentence processing times during the
natural reading of a text? Although information complexity metrics such as surprisal and …
