Currently, production and comprehension are regarded as quite distinct in accounts of
language processing. In rejecting this dichotomy, we instead assert that producing and …

A key feature of speech is the quasi-regular rhythmic information contained in its slow
amplitude modulations. In this article we review the information conveyed by speech rhythm …

We describe the key features of the visual world paradigm and review the main research
areas where it has been used. In our discussion we highlight that the paradigm provides …

Adults can incrementally combine information from speech with astonishing speed to
anticipate future words. Concurrently, a growing body of work suggests that vocabulary …

The authors examined whether people can use their knowledge of the wider discourse
rapidly enough to anticipate specific upcoming words as a sentence is unfolding. In an event …

A Bayesian model of continuous speech recognition is presented. It is based on Shortlist (D.
Norris, 1994; D. Norris, JM McQueen, A. Cutler, & S. Butterfield, 1997) and shares many of …

Four eye-tracking experiments examined lexical competition in non-native spoken-word
recognition. Dutch listeners hearing English fixated longer on distractor pictures with names …

Time course estimates from eye tracking during spoken language processing (the “visual
world paradigm”, or VWP) have enabled progress on debates regarding fine-grained details …

Speech processing is highly incremental. It is widely accepted that human listeners
continuously use the linguistic context to anticipate upcoming concepts, words, and …

Frequent words tend to shorten. But do homophone pairs, such as time and thyme, shorten
equally if one member of the pair is frequent? This study reports an analysis of roughly …
