The language network as a natural kind within the broader landscape of the human brain

E Fedorenko, AA Ivanova, TI Regev - Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2024 - nature.com
Abstract Language behaviour is complex, but neuroscientific evidence disentangles it into
distinct components supported by dedicated brain areas or networks. In this Review, we …

Prediction during language comprehension: what is next?

R Ryskin, MS Nieuwland - Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2023 - cell.com
Prediction is often regarded as an integral aspect of incremental language comprehension,
