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 …

A hallmark of human language is that we combine lexical building blocks retrieved from
memory in endless new ways. This combinatorial aspect of language is referred to as …

It has been proposed that hierarchical prediction is a fundamental computational principle
underlying neurocognitive processing. Here, we ask whether the brain engages distinct …

Efficient language processing may involve generating expectations about upcoming input.
To investigate the extent to which prediction might facilitate reading, a large-scale survey …

The fully updated eighth edition of Cognitive Psychology: A Student's Handbook provides
comprehensive yet accessible coverage of all the key areas in the field ranging from visual …

Language-related event-related potential (ERP) components such as the N400 have
traditionally been associated with linguistic or cognitive functional interpretations. By …

There is a growing literature investigating the relationship between oscillatory neural
dynamics measured using electroencephalography (EEG) and/or magnetoencephalography …

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 …

Readers may use contextual information to anticipate and pre-activate specific lexical items
during reading. However, prior studies have not clearly dissociated the effects of accurate …

Several studies (eg, Wicha et al., 2003b; DeLong et al., 2005) have shown that readers use
information from the sentential context to predict nouns (or some of their features), and that …
