Prediction in language processing has been a topic of major interest in psycholinguistics for
at least the last two decades, but most investigations focus on semantic rather than syntactic …

Most research in psycholinguistics relies on online measures such as reading time to inform
and test theories of language comprehension. However, the value of offline measures such …

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

This study provides evidence for implicit learning in syntactic comprehension. By
reanalyzing data from a syntactic priming experiment (Thothathiri & Snedeker, 2008), we …

We explored the claim that structural priming is a case of implicit learning within the
language production system. The experiment began with a baseline phase, in which we …

Why do comprehenders process repeated stimuli more rapidly than novel stimuli? We
consider an adaptive explanation for why such facilitation may be beneficial: priming is a …

We present six experiments that examine cumulative structural priming effects (ie, structural
priming effects that accumulate across many utterances). Of particular interest is whether (1) …

This study investigates how people interpret spoken sentences in the context of a relevant
visual world by focusing on garden-path sentences, such as Put the book on the chair in the …

A central question regarding predictive language processing concerns the extent to which
linguistic experience modulates the process. We approached this question by investigating …

We develop and evaluate a preliminary belief-updating model which links intermediate-term
(ie, over several days) syntactic adaptation to the joint statistics of syntactic structures and …
