What do we mean by prediction in language comprehension?

GR Kuperberg, TF Jaeger - Language, cognition and neuroscience, 2016 - Taylor & Francis
We consider several key aspects of prediction in language comprehension: its
computational nature, the representational level (s) at which we predict, whether we use …

The now-or-never bottleneck: A fundamental constraint on language

MH Christiansen, N Chater - Behavioral and brain sciences, 2016 - cambridge.org
Memory is fleeting. New material rapidly obliterates previous material. How, then, can the
brain deal successfully with the continual deluge of linguistic input? We argue that, to deal …
