words in a sentence, is generally held as an important index of memory burden and an …

This paper discusses a common reality in many cases of multilingualism: heritage speakers,
or unbalanced bilinguals, simultaneous or sequential, who shifted early in childhood from …

During real-time language comprehension, our minds rapidly decode complex meanings
from sequences of words. The difficulty of doing so is known to be related to words' …

A key component of research on human sentence processing is to characterize the
processing difficulty associated with the comprehension of words in context. Models that …

Much research in cognitive neuroscience supports prediction as a canonical computation of
cognition across domains. Is such predictive coding implemented by feedback from higher …

This study presents and analyzes the comprehension of relative clauses in child and adult
speakers of Russian, comparing monolingual controls with Russian heritage speakers (HSs) …

What role does domain-general cognitive control play in understanding linguistic input?
Although much evidence has suggested that domain-general cognitive control and working …

The present study uses probabilistic models of corpus data in a novel way, to measure and
compare the syntactic predictive capacities of speakers of different varieties of the same …

Abstract Language comprehension recruits an extended set of regions in the human brain.
Is syntactic processing localized to a particular region or regions within this system, or is it …

To understand language, we must infer structured meanings from real-time auditory or visual
signals. Researchers have long focused on word-by-word structure building in working …
