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 …

Language-related event-related potential (ERP) components such as the N400 have
traditionally been associated with linguistic or cognitive functional interpretations. By …

Theoretical accounts of the N400 are divided as to whether the amplitude of the N400
response to a stimulus reflects the extent to which the stimulus was predicted, the extent to …

Any proposal for predictive language comprehension must address receipt of less expected
information. While a relationship between the N400 and sentence predictability is well …

We previously observed that “there is no theory of reading, because reading has too many
components for a single theory”(Perfetti & Stafura, 2014, p. 1). 1 In the pursuit of studying …

A view that has been gaining prevalence over the past decade is that the human conceptual
system is malleable, dynamic, context‐dependent, and task‐dependent, that is, flexible …

Current psycholinguistic research generally acknowledges that aspects of sentence
comprehension benefit from neural preactivation of different types of information. However …

During reading, effects of contextual support indexed by N400–a brain potential sensitive to
semantic activation/retrieval–amplitude are presumably mediated by comprehenders' world …

The N400 component of the event-related brain potential is a neural signal of processing
difficulty. In the language domain, it is widely believed to be sensitive to the degree to which …

In this paper, we discuss the human thematic fit judgement correlation task in the context of
real-valued vector space word representations. Thematic fit is the extent to which an …
