Parsing and Working Memory in Bilingual Sentence Processing (2016, background): “A growing body of research has implicated a cue-based, direct access memory retrieval mechanism during language comprehension (e.g., Martin & McElree, 2008; 2009, 2011; McElree, 2000; McElree et al., 2003).”
A content-addressable pointer mechanism underlies comprehension of verb-phrase ellipsis (2008, methodology): “Experiments 1 and 2 are consistent with the hypotheses that an ellipsis is resolved with the same type of content-addressable process that has been argued to mediate the resolution of other types of nonadjacent dependencies (McElree, 2000; McElree et al., 2003).”
Agreement attraction in Spanish comprehension (2015, background): “The current study investigates whether morphological variation affects a mechanism crucial to language comprehension: the ability to retrieve previous information from memory (Caplan & Waters, 2013; Gordon, Hendrick, & Johnson, 2001; Lewis & Vasishth, 2005; McElree, Foraker, & Dyer, 2003).”
Contrasting intrusion profiles for agreement and anaphora: Experimental and modeling evidence (2013, background): “In particular, this view suggests that a single, direct-access retrieval mechanism is used for processing linguistic relations as diverse as subject–verb agreement, filler–gap processing, licensing of negativepolarity items (NPIs), verb-phrase ellipsis, and referential processing (Foraker & McElree,”
The linguistic processes underlying the P600 (2010, neutral): “(This claim is not incompatible with the argument from speed-accuracy tradeoff paradigms that access to filler phrases is unaffected by distance (McElree, Foraker, & Dyer, 2003 ).”
The nature of working memory capacity in sentence comprehension : Evidence against domain-specific working memory resources (2006, background): “However, when the integration is non-local, the target attachment site needs to be retrieved from memory, and there may be interference from the intervening potential attachment sites (e.g., McElree, Foraker, & Dyer, 2003 ).”
Similarity-based interference in sentence comprehension: Literature review and Bayesian meta-analysis (2017, background): “robability of the target) is sensitive to an interference manipulation (McElree, 2000, 006; McElree et al., 2003).”
An Activation-Based Model of Sentence Processing as Skilled Memory Retrieval (2005, methodology): “Furthermore, the main verb reading times are remarkably flat, which is consistent with the result of McElree et al. (2003) discussed above.”
Multi-dimensional contributions to garden path strength: Dissociating phrase structure from case marking (2004, background): “, less plausible) than another; however, they may not require additional time to compute that interpretation (McElree, 1993, 2000; McElree et al., 2003; McElree & Nordlie, 1999).”
Interference effects from grammatically unavailable constituents during sentence processing. (2007, methodology): “This type of access has been termed direct access or content addressable access and has been demonstrated in sentence processing by McElree (2000;McElree et al., 2003), who showed that the speed of processing structures with increasing distance between two grammatically dependent items, as well as i”
Eye movements and on-line comprehension processes (2007, methodology): “While research from other paradigms such as self-paced reading (see Gibson, 1998 for discussion), speed–accuracy tradeoff (McElree et al., 2003), and ERP (Fiebach et al.”
Agreement Attraction in Comprehension: Representations and Processes. (2009, positive): “In both, attraction reflects similarity-based interference that stems from cue-based retrieval (Lewis & Vasishth, 2005; McElree, Foraker, & Dyer, 2003 ).”
The role of prominence in pronoun resolution: Active versus passive representations (2007, background): “McElree, Foraker, and Dyer (2003) found that subject-verb dependencies were processed with a faster time-course when arguments were adjacent to one another, rather than separated by intervening information.”
