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 …

Prediction is often regarded as an integral aspect of incremental language comprehension,
but little is known about the cognitive architectures and mechanisms that support it. We …

Implicit learning and statistical learning are two contemporary approaches to the long‐
standing question in psychology and cognitive science of how organisms pick up on …

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

Speakers use spontaneous hand gestures as they speak and think. These gestures serve
many functions for speakers who produce them as well as for listeners who observe them …

Prediction of upcoming words during reading has been suggested to enhance the efficiency
of discourse processing. Emerging models have postulated that predictive mechanisms …

Literacy has many obvious benefits: it exposes the reader to a wealth of new information and
enhances syntactic knowledge. However, we argue that literacy has an additional, often …

Prediction in language processing has been a topic of major interest in psycholinguistics for
at least the last two decades, but most investigations focus on semantic rather than syntactic …

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 …
