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 …

Four central questions about prediction in language processing
F Huettig - Brain research, 2015 - Elsevier
The notion that prediction is a fundamental principle of human information processing has
been en vogue over recent years. The investigation of language processing may be …

fMRI reveals language-specific predictive coding during naturalistic sentence comprehension
Much research in cognitive neuroscience supports prediction as a canonical computation of
cognition across domains. Is such predictive coding implemented by feedback from higher …

A tale of two positivities and the N400: Distinct neural signatures are evoked by confirmed and violated predictions at different levels of representation
It has been proposed that hierarchical prediction is a fundamental computational principle
underlying neurocognitive processing. Here, we ask whether the brain engages distinct …

Individual differences in working memory and processing speed predict anticipatory spoken language processing in the visual world
F Huettig, E Janse - Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2016 - Taylor & Francis
Several mechanisms of predictive language processing have been proposed. The possible
influence of mediating factors such as working memory and processing speed, however, has …

Predictive sentence processing in L2 and L1: What is different?
E Kaan - Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism, 2014 - jbe-platform.com
There is ample evidence that native speakers anticipate upcoming information at various
levels during sentence comprehension. In contrast, some studies on late second-language …

Is prediction necessary to understand language? Probably not
Some recent theoretical accounts in the cognitive sciences suggest that prediction is
necessary to understand language. Here we evaluate this proposal. We consider arguments …

Predicting syntactic structure
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 …

So that's what you meant! Event-related potentials reveal multiple aspects of context use during construction of message-level meaning
Factors that modulate the influence of contextual information on semantic processing in
language comprehension have been thoroughly investigated with the N400 component of …

Time for prediction? The effect of presentation rate on predictive sentence comprehension during word-by-word reading
Predictive processing is a core component of normal language comprehension, but the
brain may not engage in prediction to the same extent in all circumstances. This study …
