Measuring event-related potentials (ERPs) has been fundamental to our understanding of how language is encoded in the brain. One particular ERP response, the N400 response …
Do people routinely pre-activate the meaning and even the phonological form of upcoming words? The most acclaimed evidence for phonological prediction comes from a 2005 Nature …
In traditional theories of language comprehension, syntactic and semantic processing are inextricably linked. This assumption has been challenged by the 'Semantic Illusion …
Psycholinguistics–the field of science that examines the mental processes and knowledge structures involved in the acquisition, comprehension, and production of language–had a …
Efficient language processing may involve generating expectations about upcoming input. To investigate the extent to which prediction might facilitate reading, a large-scale survey …

Humans excel at understanding speech even in adverse conditions such as background noise. Speech processing may be aided by cortical activity in the delta and theta frequency …
Traditionally, prediction has been considered an inefficient and cognitively expensive processing mechanism in the domain of language comprehension, where there are many …
There is a growing literature investigating the relationship between oscillatory neural dynamics measured using electroencephalography (EEG) and/or magnetoencephalography …
Two related questions critical to understanding the predictive processes that come online during sentence comprehension are (1) what information is included in the representation …
