Predicting while comprehending language: A theory and review.

MJ Pickering, C Gambi - Psychological bulletin, 2018 - psycnet.apa.org
Researchers agree that comprehenders regularly predict upcoming language, but they do
not always agree on what prediction is (and how to differentiate it from integration) or what …

Four central questions about prediction in language processing

F Huettig - Brain research, 2015 - Elsevier
The notion that prediction is a fundamental principle of human information processing has
been en vogue over recent years. The investigation of language processing may be …

Individual differences in working memory and processing speed predict anticipatory spoken language processing in the visual world

F Huettig, E Janse - Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2016 - Taylor & Francis
Several mechanisms of predictive language processing have been proposed. The possible
influence of mediating factors such as working memory and processing speed, however, has …

Literacy advantages beyond reading: Prediction of spoken language

F Huettig, MJ Pickering - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2019 - cell.com
Literacy has many obvious benefits: it exposes the reader to a wealth of new information and
enhances syntactic knowledge. However, we argue that literacy has an additional, often …

[HTML][HTML] Evaluating information-theoretic measures of word prediction in naturalistic sentence reading

C Aurnhammer, SL Frank - Neuropsychologia, 2019 - Elsevier
We review information-theoretic measures of cognitive load during sentence processing that
have been used to quantify word prediction effort. Two such measures, surprisal and next …

Literacy can enhance syntactic prediction in spoken language processing.

S Favier, AS Meyer, F Huettig - Journal of Experimental Psychology …, 2021 - psycnet.apa.org
Abstract Language comprehenders can use syntactic cues to generate predictions online
about upcoming language. Previous research with reading-impaired adults and healthy, low …

Alpha and theta band dynamics related to sentential constraint and word expectancy

J Rommers, DS Dickson, JJS Norton… - Language, cognition …, 2017 - Taylor & Francis
Despite strong evidence for prediction during language comprehension, the underlying
mechanisms, and the extent to which they are specific to language, remain unclear. Re …

Individual differences in syntactic processing: Is there evidence for reader-text interactions?

AN James, SH Fraundorf, EK Lee… - Journal of memory and …, 2018 - Elsevier
There remains little consensus about whether there exist meaningful individual differences
in syntactic processing and, if so, what explains them. We argue that this partially reflects the …

Predicting upcoming information in native-language and non-native-language auditory word recognition

A Dijkgraaf, RJ Hartsuiker, W Duyck - Bilingualism: Language and …, 2017 - cambridge.org
Monolingual listeners continuously predict upcoming information. Here, we tested whether
predictive language processing occurs to the same extent when bilinguals listen to their …

Predictors of verb-mediated anticipatory eye movements in the visual world.

F Hintz, AS Meyer, F Huettig - Journal of Experimental Psychology …, 2017 - psycnet.apa.org
Many studies have demonstrated that listeners use information extracted from verbs to guide
anticipatory eye movements to objects in the visual context that satisfy the selection …
