Predictive processing, a crucial aspect of human cognition, is also relevant for language
comprehension. In everyday situations, we exploit various sources of information to …

Prediction is often used during language comprehension. However, studies of prediction
have tended to focus on L1 listeners in quiet conditions. Thus, it is unclear how listeners …

Standard models of lexical production assume that speakers access representations of
meaning, grammar, and different aspects of sound in a roughly sequential manner (whether …

Young children can exploit the syntactic context of a novel word to narrow down its probable
meaning. This is syntactic bootstrapping. A learner that uses syntactic bootstrapping to foster …

Prediction is an important part of language processing. An open question is to what extent
people predict language in challenging circumstances. Here we tested the limits of …

Readers use prior context to predict features of upcoming words. When predictions are
accurate, this increases the efficiency of comprehension. However, little is known about the …

Prediction has a fundamental role in language processing. However, predictions can be
made at different levels, and it is not always clear whether speech sounds, morphemes …
