Robust speech perception: recognize the familiar, generalize to the similar, and adapt to the novel.
Successful speech perception requires that listeners map the acoustic signal to linguistic
categories. These map**s are not only probabilistic, but change depending on the …

An integrated theory of language production and comprehension
Currently, production and comprehension are regarded as quite distinct in accounts of
language processing. In rejecting this dichotomy, we instead assert that producing and …

What do we mean by prediction in language comprehension?
We consider several key aspects of prediction in language comprehension: its
computational nature, the representational level (s) at which we predict, whether we use …

Modelling the N400 brain potential as change in a probabilistic representation of meaning
The N400 component of the event-related brain potential has aroused much interest
because it is thought to provide an online measure of meaning processing in the brain …

Rapid expectation adaptation during syntactic comprehension
When we read or listen to language, we are faced with the challenge of inferring intended
messages from noisy input. This challenge is exacerbated by considerable variability …

Alignment as a consequence of expectation adaptation: Syntactic priming is affected by the prime's prediction error given both prior and recent experience
Speakers show a remarkable tendency to align their productions with their interlocutors'.
Focusing on sentence production, we investigate the cognitive systems underlying such …

Grammaticality, acceptability, and probability: A probabilistic view of linguistic knowledge
The question of whether humans represent grammatical knowledge as a binary condition on
membership in a set of well‐formed sentences, or as a probabilistic property has been the …

Rational integration of noisy evidence and prior semantic expectations in sentence interpretation
Sentence processing theories typically assume that the input to our language processing
mechanisms is an error-free sequence of words. However, this assumption is an …
