Speech from unfamiliar talkers can be difficult to comprehend initially. These difficulties tend
to dissipate with exposure, sometimes within minutes or less. Adaptivity in response to …

Syntactic/structural priming has been shown to take place during comprehension. However,
early comprehension findings revealed discrepancies with those in production, such as little …

The disambiguation of a syntactically ambiguous sentence in favor of a less preferred parse
can lead to slower reading at the disambiguation point. This phenomenon, referred to as a …

There is currently much interest in the role of prediction in language processing, both in L1
and L2. For language acquisition researchers, this has prompted debate on the role that …

The human mind is a dynamical system, yet many analysis techniques used to study it are
limited in their ability to capture the complex dynamics that may characterize mental …

Previous studies have reliably shown that the initial misanalysis of garden-path sentences
lingers even after the whole sentence is processed. However, other aspects of the resulting …

Inverse probability adaptation effects (the finding that encountering a verb in an unexpected
structure increases long-term priming for that structure) have been observed in both L1 and …

Controversy exists as to whether, compared to young adults, older adults are more, equally
or less likely to make linguistic predictions while reading. While previous studies have …
