The slow development of real-time processing: Spoken-word recognition as a crucible for new thinking about language acquisition and language disorders
Words are fundamental to language, linking sound, articulation, and spelling to meaning
and syntax; and lexical deficits are core to communicative disorders. Work in language …

The pictures who shall not be named: Empirical support for benefits of preview in the Visual World Paradigm
A common critique of the Visual World Paradigm (VWP) in psycholinguistic studies is that
what is designed as a measure of language processes is meaningfully altered by the visual …

What causes lingering misinterpretations of garden-path sentences: Incorrect syntactic representations or fallible memory processes?
A key question in research on sentence processing concerns how sentences that have been
misanalyzed are reinterpreted, and to what extent the parser's attempts at revision are …

Learning and integration of new word-forms: Consolidation, pruning, and the emergence of automaticity
Learning a new word appears simple. One must learn the phonological form of the word (the
word-form), the concept to which it refers, and an association between them. However …
