Prediction in reading: A review of predictability effects, their theoretical implications, and beyond
Historically, prediction during reading has been considered an inefficient and cognitively
expensive processing mechanism given the inherently generative nature of language, which …

Dissociating word frequency and predictability effects in reading: Evidence from coregistration of eye movements and EEG.
Two very reliable influences on eye fixation durations in reading are word frequency, as
measured by corpus counts, and word predictability, as measured by cloze norming. Several …

Conversation electrified: ERP correlates of speech act recognition in underspecified utterances
The ability to recognize speech acts (verbal actions) in conversation is critical for everyday
interaction. However, utterances are often underspecified for the speech act they perform …

The effect of semantic transparency on the processing of morphologically derived words: Evidence from decision latencies and event-related potentials.
Decomposition theories of morphological processing in visual word recognition posit an
early morpho-orthographic parser that is blind to semantic information, whereas parallel …

Seeing the same words differently: The time course of automaticity and top–down intention in reading
We investigated how linguistic intention affects the time course of visual word recognition by
comparing the brain's electrophysiological response to a word's lexical frequency, a well …

Masked identity priming reflects an encoding advantage in develo** readers
The masked priming technique is widely used to explore the early moments of letter and
word identification. Although this technique is increasingly used in experiments with young …

Repetition suppression for familiar visual words through acceleration of early processing
Abstract The visual N1 (N170) component with occipito-temporal negativity and fronto-
central positivity is sensitive to visual expertise for print. Slightly later, an N200 component …

Neural correlates of masked priming: only morphologically derived words facilitate lexical decisions
J Bölte, AN Ravenschlag, M Rehbein… - Language, Cognition …, 2025 - Taylor & Francis
The visual processing of morphologically complex words has been studied for decades now.
One influential account proposes initial sublexical parsing, based on surface structure …

Top-down modulation of early print-tuned neural activity in reading
Fast neural tuning to print has been found within the first 250 ms of stimulus processing
across different writing systems, indicated by larger N1 negativity in the ERP to words (or …

Tracking the consequences of morpho-orthographic decomposition using ERPs
We examined the effects of morpho-orthographic decomposition on complex word
processing using a combination of masked priming and ERP recordings. The process of …
