Scanning of the visual scene is an important selective process in visual perception. In this
article we argue that eye-movement data provide an excellent on-line indication of the …

We present the design, implementation and simulation results of a psycholinguistic model of
human syntactic processing that meets major empirical criteria. The parser operates in …

Three eye-tracking experiments investigated two frequency-based processing accounts: the
serial lexical-guidance account, in which people adopt the analysis compatible with the most …

In this chapter, we focus on a previously ignored aspect of sentence processing theories: is
processing difficulty caused by reanalysis or competition? According to two-stage theories …

Language comprehension requires the activation, coordination, and integration of different
kinds of linguistic knowledge. This chapter focuses on the processing of syntactic and …

In 4 cross-modal naming experiments, researchers investigated the role of sentence
constraint in natural language comprehension. On the sentence constraint account …

This cliapter is on syntactic and semantic processes during on-line language
comprehension. We present event-related brain potential (ERP) data from a series of …

ACT-R is a general theory of cognition (Anderson, 1993; Anderson & Lebiere, 1998) which
is capable of learning the relative usefulness of alternative rules. In this paper, a model …

Recent evidence suggests that phrase length plays a crucial role in modification
ambiguities. Using a self-paced reading task, we extended these results by examining the …

We critically review the empirical evidence published by van Berkum, Brown, and Hagoort
(1999a, b) against syntax-first models of sentence parsing. According to van Berkum et al …
