Classical models have traditionally focused on the left posterior inferior frontal gyrus (Broca's
area) as a key region for motor planning of speech production. However, converging …

Researchers agree that comprehenders regularly predict upcoming language, but they do
not always agree on what prediction is (and how to differentiate it from integration) or what …

The acquisition of literacy transforms the human brain. By reviewing studies of illiterate
subjects, we propose specific hypotheses on how the functions of core brain systems are …

Statistical learning (SL) is typically considered to be a domain-general mechanism by which
cognitive systems discover the underlying distributional properties of the input. However …

Standard neurocognitive models of language processing have tended to obviate the need
