Anticipating upcoming words in discourse: evidence from ERPs and reading times. (2005, unknown): “There is increasing evidence that listeners are in fact very sensitive to these cues (e.g., Dahan, Magnuson, Tanenhaus, & Hogan, 2001; Gaskell & Marslen-Wilson, 2001; Kemps, Ernestus, Schreuder, & Baayen, in press; Kemps, Wurm, Ernestus, Schreuder, & Baayen, 2005; Salverda, Dahan, & McQueen, 2003).”
The influence of affect on higher level cognition: A review of research on interpretation, judgement, decision making and reasoning (2010, background): “Most studies have examined how emotion modulates ambiguity resolution in a contextual vacuum, yet it is clear that context is highly influential in gearing interpretations in complex environments that provide multiple sources of information (Gaskell & Marslen Wilson, 2001 ).”
Asymmetric lexical access and fuzzy lexical representations in second language learners (2014, background): “Conversely, ambiguous input will lead to a larger number of activated competitors (e.g. Gaskell & Marslen-Wilson, 2001), and slow down recognition.”
Eight questions about spoken-word recognition (2007, background): “A number of studies, however, have shown that when following context is present, and that context licenses the assimilation, the altered word is recognised correctly (Coenen et al., 2001; Gaskell & Marslen-Wilson, 1996, 1998, 2001; Gow, 2001, 2002; Mitterer & Blomert, 2003).”
