Involvement of executive resources in prediction
Whether linguistic prediction requires executive resources is currently unclear. Supportive evidence comes from reduced/delayed prediction in populations with fewer available executive resources, such as children or second-language speakers. However, it is possible that differences in these groups instead stem from differences in linguistic experience. In this study we test prediction using the visual world paradigm, investigating two factors pro…
The impact of speech rate on first- and second-stage prediction in L1 and L2 speakers
We investigate timing and eye-movement behavior during semantic prediction in L1 and L2 speakers of English using the Visual World Paradigm, additionally exploring speech rate. We differentiate first-stage predictions, considered to be automatic and relatively cost-free, from second-stage predictions, which are non-automatic and more cognitively demanding, with differences between L1 and L2 speakers believed to arise in second-stage predictions. …
Effects of listening demand on turn-taking processes
During conversation, speakers often take turns with little gap or overlap. But older adults with hearing loss are often slower to take turns and show more variability in turn timing than older adults with normal hearing, potentially due to increased cognitive demands of processing speech with hearing loss. In this study, we investigated how hearing loss and listening demand affect turn-end prediction and verbal response planning - two processes t…
The effect of metacognitive executive function training on children’s executive function, proactive control, and academic skills
The current study investigated the effects of metacognitive and executive function (EF) training on childhood EF (inhibition, working memory [WM], cognitive flexibility, and proactive/reactive control) and academic skills (reading, reasoning, and math) among children from disadvantaged backgrounds. Children ( N = 134, M age = 8.70 years) were assigned randomly to the three training groups: (a) metacognitive training of basic EF processes (meta-EF…
Conversation in small groups
Many conversations in our day-to-day lives are held in noisy environments – impeding comprehension, and in groups – taxing auditory attention-switching processes. These situations are particularly challenging for older adults in cognitive and sensory decline. In noisy environments, a variety of extra-linguistic strategies are available to speakers and listeners to facilitate communication, but while models of language account for the impact of co…
Consistent use of proactive control and relation with academic achievement in childhood
As children become older, they better maintain task-relevant information in preparation of upcoming cognitive demands. This is referred to as proactive control, which is a key component of cognitive control development. However, it is still uncertain whether children engage in proactive control consistently across different contexts and how proactive control relates to academic abilities. This study used two common tasks-the AX Continuous Perform…
Listeners are better at predicting speakers similar to themselves
Although it takes several hundred milliseconds to prepare a spoken contribution, gaps between turns in conversation tend to be much shorter. To produce these short gaps, it appears that interlocutors predict the end of their partner's turn. The theory of prediction-by-simulation proposes that individuals use their own motor system to model a partner's upcoming actions by referring to prior production experience. In this study we investigate the r…
