The statistical significance filter leads to overoptimistic expectations of replicability (2018, background): “This resolves a potentially serious confound in such studies; many of the previous studies (Grodner & Gibson, 2005; Konieczny, 2000; Vasishth & Lewis, 2006) had the verb further downstream in the sentence whenever an additional intervener was present.”
Understanding heritage languages (2019, unknown): “First, long-distance dependencies are harder to produce and understand (e.g., Gibson, 1998; Grodner & Gibson, 2005; Hawkins, 1999, 2003; Scontras, Badecker & Fedorenko, 2017a; Scontras, Badecker, Shank, Lim & Fedorenko, 2015a).”
What do RNN Language Models Learn about Filler–Gap Dependencies? (2018, result): “…literature on ﬁller–gap dependencies, the negative values of all but one of the correlations are consistent with known effects in human sentence processing, where increasing distance between ﬁllers and gaps usually causes processing slowdown (Grodner and Gibson, 2005; Bartek et al., 2011).”
Accounting for regressive eye-movements in models of sentence processing: A reappraisal of the Selective Reanalysis hypothesis (2008, methodology): “By way of comparison, there have been at least eleven attempts to model self-paced reading data (e.g., Elman, Hare & McRae, 2004; Gibson, 1998; Grodner & Gibson, 2005; Hale, 2003; Just & Carpenter, 1992; Lewis & Vasishth, 2005; McDonald & Christiansen, 2002; McRae et al., 1998; Narayanan &…”
The linguistic processes underlying the P600 (2010, methodology): “In Gibson’s model a number of different parameters contribute to the ‘syntactic integration difficulty’ of each incoming word, including retrieval, the number of relations created, and their locality, and this composite measure has been used to model readingtime data (Grodner & Gibson, 2005).”
Large-scale evidence of dependency length minimization in 37 languages (2015, background): “In support of this idea, comprehension and production difficulty have been observed at the sites of long dependencies (8, 12).”
How language production shapes language form and comprehension (2012, background): “The logic here seems perfectly clear: Because the difference in difficulty can’t be ascribed to lexical factors or ambiguity resolution, it must reflect purely syntactic operations and the memory capacity required to complete them (Grodner and Gibson, 2005).”
The effects of sentence length on dependency distance, dependency direction and the implications–Based on a parallel English–Chinese dependency treebank (2015, background): “…level of understanding the sentence structure and the linear order (DD under dependency grammar) of the words with syntactic relations (Gibson, 1998; Gibson and Pearlmutter, 1998; Gibson, 2000; Grodner and Gibson, 2005; Temperley, 2007; Liu, 2008; Gildea and Temperley, 2010; Fedorenko et al. 2013).”
Interference effects from grammatically unavailable constituents during sentence processing. (2007, background): “One account of how this difficulty could arise depends on the additional storage cost associated with maintaining the syntactic prediction of the embedded clause that follows declared (Gibson, 2000; Grodner & Gibson, 2005 ).”
An Activation-Based Model of Sentence Processing as Skilled Memory Retrieval (2005, methodology): “Data from Experiment 1, Grodner & Gibson (2005).”
The nature of working memory capacity in sentence comprehension : Evidence against domain-specific working memory resources (2006, background): “Gibson (1998, 2000) and Grodner and Gibson (2005) provide a framework to formalize this idea.”
