presentation, a condition that eliminates important aspects of the normal reading process …

Current theories of language comprehension posit that readers and listeners routinely try to
predict the meaning but also the visual or sound form of upcoming words. Whereas most …

A long tradition of research including classical rhetoric, esthetics and poetics theory,
formalism and structuralism, as well as current perspectives in (neuro) cognitive poetics has …

The notion of prediction is studied in cognitive neuroscience with increasing intensity. We

Everyone knows what bottom-up is, and how it is different from top-down. At least one is
tempted to think so, given that both terms are ubiquitously used, but only rarely defined in …

Previous experience allows the brain to predict what comes next. How these expectations
affect conscious experience is poorly understood. In particular, it is unknown whether and …

An increasing number of human electroencephalography (EEG) studies examining the
earliest component of the visual evoked potential, the so-called C1, have cast doubts on the …

Predictions strongly influence perception. However, the neurophysiological processes that
implement predictions remain underexplored. It has been proposed that high-and low …

We review information-theoretic measures of cognitive load during sentence processing that
have been used to quantify word prediction effort. Two such measures, surprisal and next …

This article introduces a new corpus of eye movements in silent reading—the Russian
Sentence Corpus (RSC). Russian uses the Cyrillic script, which has not yet been …
