Prediction during language comprehension: Benefits, costs, and ERP components
C Van Petten, BJ Luka - International journal of psychophysiology, 2012 - Elsevier
Because context has a robust influence on the processing of subsequent words, the idea
that readers and listeners predict upcoming words has attracted research attention, but …

A tale of two positivities and the N400: Distinct neural signatures are evoked by confirmed and violated predictions at different levels of representation
It has been proposed that hierarchical prediction is a fundamental computational principle
underlying neurocognitive processing. Here, we ask whether the brain engages distinct …

Bilinguals reading in their second language do not predict upcoming words as native readers do
During reading, monolingual readers actively predict upcoming words from sentence
context. Here we investigated whether bilingual readers predict sentence final words when …

Dissociating N400 effects of prediction from association in single-word contexts
EF Lau, PJ Holcomb… - Journal of cognitive …, 2013 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
When a word is preceded by a supportive context such as a semantically associated word or
a strongly constraining sentence frame, the N400 component of the ERP is reduced in …

Effects of prediction and contextual support on lexical processing: Prediction takes precedence
Readers may use contextual information to anticipate and pre-activate specific lexical items
during reading. However, prior studies have not clearly dissociated the effects of accurate …

Goals and strategies influence lexical prediction during sentence comprehension
Predictive processing is a critical component of language comprehension, but exactly how
and why comprehenders generate lexical predictions remains to be determined. Here, we …

Lexical versus conceptual anticipation during sentence processing: Frontal positivity and N400 ERP components
DE Thornhill, C Van Petten - International journal of psychophysiology, 2012 - Elsevier
Although the sensitivity of the N400 to semantic processing is well established, late positive
ERP components are also elicited during sentence comprehension. We suggest that there …

Prediction in reading: A review of predictability effects, their theoretical implications, and beyond
Historically, prediction during reading has been considered an inefficient and cognitively
expensive processing mechanism given the inherently generative nature of language, which …

Pre‐processing in sentence comprehension: Sensitivity to likely upcoming meaning and structure
For more than a decade, views of sentence comprehension have been shifting toward wider
