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 …

The ability to rapidly and systematically access knowledge stored in long‐term memory in
response to incoming sensory information—that is, to derive meaning from the world—lies at …

The functional significance of the N400 evoked‐response component is still actively
debated. An increasing amount of theoretical and computational modelling work is built on …

To comprehend language, we continually use prior context to pre-activate expected
upcoming information, resulting in facilitated processing of incoming words that confirm …

Intuitively, strongly constraining contexts should lead to stronger probabilistic
representations of sentences in memory. Encountering unexpected words could therefore …

Predicting upcoming words during language comprehension not only affects processing in
the moment but also has consequences for memory, although the source of these memory …

This study investigated how the strength of schema support provided by strongly (SC) and
weakly constraining (WC) sentences affects the encoding of expected and unexpected …

Abstract Language comprehension can be facilitated by the accurate prediction of upcoming
words, but prediction effects are not ubiquitous, and comprehenders likely use predictive …

A complete understanding of the predictive processing effect in sentence comprehension
needs to understand both the facilitation effect of successful prediction and the cost …

Prediction errors drive implicit learning in language, but the specific mechanisms underlying
these effects remain debated. This issue was addressed in an EEG study manipulating the …
