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 …

Over the last 25 years, the visual world paradigm has enabled discoveries and theoretical
advances in spoken language processing. However, the intuitive interpretation of fixations in …

Several mechanisms of predictive language processing have been proposed. The possible
influence of mediating factors such as working memory and processing speed, however, has …

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

Social psychological research is increasingly interested in the cognitive and affective
processes underlying human behavior in social environments. To match this emerging …

Recent studies have revealed that the deployment of attention can be biased by the content

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

We used the visual world eye-tracking paradigm to investigate the effects of cognitive load
on predictive eye movements in L1 (Experiment 1) and L2 (Experiment 2) speakers …

An important question is, to what extent is visual attention driven by the semantics of
individual objects, rather than by their visual appearance? This study investigates the …

How do perception and language interact to form the representations that guide our
thoughts and actions over the short-term? Here, we provide a first examination of this …
