The Time Course of Verb Processing in Dutch Sentences
The verb has traditionally been characterized as the central element in a sentence. Nevertheless, the exact role of the verb during the actual ongoing comprehension of a sentence as it unfolds in time remains largely unknown. This paper reports the results of two Cross-Modal Lexical Priming (CMLP) experiments detailing the pattern of verb priming during on-line processing of Dutch sentences. Results are contrasted with data from a third CMLP expe…
Slowed Speech Input has a Differential Impact on On-line and Off-line Processing in Children's Comprehension of Pronouns
The central question underlying this study revolves around how children process co-reference relationships-such as those evidenced by pronouns (him) and reflexives (himself)-and how a slowed rate of speech input may critically affect this process. Previous studies of child language processing have demonstrated that typical language developing (TLD) children as young as 4 years of age process co-reference relations in a manner similar to adults on…
The Leaf Fell (the Leaf): The Online Processing of Unaccusatives
According to the Unaccusative Hypothesis, unaccusative subjects are base-generated in object position and move to subject position. We examined this hypothesis using the cross-modal lexical priming technique, which tests whether and when an antecedent is reactivated during the online processing of a sentence. We compared sentences containing unergative verbs with sentences containing unaccusatives, both alternating and nonalternating, and found t…

Coreference processing and levels of analysis in object-relative constructions; Demonstration of antecedent reactivation with the cross-modal priming paradigm
Participant roles and the processing of verbs during sentence comprehension
The allocation of memory resources during sentence comprehension: Evidence from the elderly
Functional localization in the brain with respect to syntactic processing
On the temporal course of gap-filling during comprehension of verbal passives
The role of schemas in reading text: A real‐time examination
This article is concerned with how people process text in the presence or absence of a relevant schema. In particular, we focus on the effects of schema availability and concept repetition on both on‐line integration and memory for text. Subjects were required to read “vague” texts (like Bransford and Johnson's, 1972, well‐known “washing clothes” story) and their reading time for each sentence in each text was recorded. Half the texts were preced…

On the role of the simplicity heuristic in language processing: Evidence from structural and inferential processing
The role of structure in coreference assignment during sentence comprehension
Prosody and the development of comprehension
Four studies are reported in which young children's response time to detect word targets was measured. Children under about six years of age did not show the response time advantage for accented target words which adult listeners show. When semantic focus of the target word was manipulated independently of accent, children of about five years of age showed an adult-like response time advantage for focussed targets, but children younger than five …
