Prediction during language comprehension: benefits, costs, and ERP components. (2012, background): “The discrepancy between contextual constraint and cloze probability has intuitive appeal for quantifying the strength with which a prediction is disconfirmed, so that this idea has been applied in many other papers, including one from our lab (Federmeier, 2007; Federmeier et al., 2002, 2007; Hoeks e”
Predicting form and meaning: Evidence from brain potentials (2016, background): “People regularly use contextual information and world knowledge to predict aspects of language that are likely to be mentioned as a sentence or discourse unfolds (e.g., Altmann & Kamide, 1999; Federmeier, 2007; Huettig, 2015; Kutas, DeLong, & Smith, 2011).”
What do we mean by prediction in language comprehension? (2015, methodology): “…& Garrod, 2007, 2013, and for further discussion of the relationship between prediction in language comprehension and production, see Brown & Kuperberg, 2015; Dell & Chang, 2014; Federmeier, 2007; Garrod & Pickering, 2015; Jaeger & Snider, 2013; Kurumada & Jaeger, 2015; Magyari & de Ruiter, 2012).”
The linguistic processes underlying the P600 (2010, background): “…of developing specific models of variation in the P600, such that it can guide theory building in the same way that N400 variation has guided models of how words are semantically integrated into a sentence (Federmeier, 2007; Kutas & Federmeier, 2000; Lau et al., 2008; van Petten & Luka, 2006).”
Interplay between acoustic/phonetic and semantic processes during spoken sentence comprehension: an ERP study. (2011, positive): “morpho-syntactic, lexico-semantic) during sentence and discourse comprehension to make predictions about upcoming events (Federmeier, 2007; Kotz et al., 2009; Lau, Stroud, Plesch, & Phillips, 2006; Van Berkum, Brown, Zwitserlood, Kooijman, & Hagoort, 2005).”
Individual differences in working memory and processing speed predict anticipatory spoken language processing in the visual world (2016, positive): “age (Federmeier, Kutas, & Schul, 2010; Huang, Meyer, & Federmeier, 2012; Wlotko & Federmeier, 2012). Wlotko and Federmeier (2012) speculate, in line with the argument put forward by Peelle et al. (2010), that older adults’ decreased predictive processing may be due to less-efficient functional conne”
Spoken language-mediated anticipatory eye- movements are modulated by reading ability - Evidence from Indian low and high literates (2012, background): “…has been well established and consequently (and unsurprisingly) theoretical accounts of predictive language processing have become very influential (e.g., Altmann & Mirkovic, 2009; Chang, Dell, & Bock, 2006; Federmeier, 2007; Kukona, Fang, Aicher, Chen, & Magnuson, 2011; Pickering & Garrod, 2007).”
Consequences of the Now-or-Never bottleneck for signed versus spoken languages (2015, background): “Accordingly, there is a growing body of evidence for a substantial role of prediction in language processing (for reviews, see, e.g., Federmeier 2007; Hagoort 2009; Kamide 2008; Kutas et al. 2014; Pickering & Garrod 2007) and evidence that such language prediction occurs in children as young as 2…”
The neuropragmatics of 'simple' utterance comprehension: An ERP review (2009, background): “I think it is exactly this readiness function of our content-addressable long-term memory that is behind the contextual expectations discussed in the MIR and other memory retrieval accounts of context-based N400 effects (Kutas & Federmeier, 2000; Federmeier, 2007 ).”
