Measuring event-related potentials (ERPs) has been fundamental to our understanding of
how language is encoded in the brain. One particular ERP response, the N400 response …

The literature on the electrophysiology of language comprehension has recently seen a very
prominent discussion of “semantic P600” effects, which have been observed, for example, in …

Theoretical accounts of the N400 are divided as to whether the amplitude of the N400
response to a stimulus reflects the extent to which the stimulus was predicted, the extent to …

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 …

Research into recurrent, highly conventionalized “formulaic” sequences has shown a
processing advantage compared to “novel”(non-formulaic) language. Studies of individual …

Expectation-based theories of language processing, such as Surprisal theory, are supported
by evidence of anticipation effects in both behavioural and neurophysiological measures …

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

Understanding the processes that permit us to extract meaning from spoken or written
linguistic input requires elucidating how, when, and where in the brain sentences and …

In this study, we examined the role that cognitive control and language regulation ability play
in mediating readers' susceptibility to prediction error costs when reading in the native …

Second language (L2) researchers are becoming more interested in both L2 learners'
knowledge of the target language and how that knowledge is put to use during real-time …
