Prediction during language comprehension: what is next?
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 …

Multimodal language processing in human communication
The natural ecology of human language is face-to-face interaction comprising the exchange
of a plethora of multimodal signals. Trying to understand the psycholinguistic processing of …

What BERT is not: Lessons from a new suite of psycholinguistic diagnostics for language models
Pre-training by language modeling has become a popular and successful approach to NLP
tasks, but we have yet to understand exactly what linguistic capacities these pre-training …

Semantic memory: A review of methods, models, and current challenges
Adult semantic memory has been traditionally conceptualized as a relatively static memory
system that consists of knowledge about the world, concepts, and symbols. Considerable …

Predicting while comprehending language: A theory and review.
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 …

What do we mean by prediction in language comprehension?
We consider several key aspects of prediction in language comprehension: its
computational nature, the representational level (s) at which we predict, whether we use …

Large-scale replication study reveals a limit on probabilistic prediction in language comprehension
Do people routinely pre-activate the meaning and even the phonological form of upcoming
words? The most acclaimed evidence for phonological prediction comes from a 2005 Nature …

Modelling the N400 brain potential as change in a probabilistic representation of meaning
The N400 component of the event-related brain potential has aroused much interest
because it is thought to provide an online measure of meaning processing in the brain …

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

[HTML][HTML] The effect of word predictability on reading time is logarithmic
It is well known that real-time human language processing is highly incremental and context-
driven, and that the strength of a comprehender's expectation for each word encountered is …
