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 …

Currently, production and comprehension are regarded as quite distinct in accounts of
language processing. In rejecting this dichotomy, we instead assert that producing and …

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 …

There is ample evidence that native speakers anticipate upcoming information at various
levels during sentence comprehension. In contrast, some studies on late second-language …

Some recent theoretical accounts in the cognitive sciences suggest that prediction is
necessary to understand language. Here we evaluate this proposal. We consider arguments …

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 …

The cause of developmental dyslexia is still unknown despite decades of intense research.
Many causal explanations have been proposed, based on the range of impairments …

Reading picture books to pre-literate children is associated with improved language
outcomes, but the causal pathways of this relationship are not well understood. The present …

Abstract Language comprehenders can use syntactic cues to generate predictions online
about upcoming language. Previous research with reading-impaired adults and healthy, low …

Abstract Language comprehension often involves the generation of predictions. It has been
hypothesized that such prediction-for-comprehension entails actual language production …
