Finding event structure in time
The activation of object-state representations during online language comprehension
Language-guided visual processing affects reasoning
The role of working memory and contextual constraints in children's processing of relative clauses
An auditory sentence comprehension task investigated the extent to which the integration of contextual and structural cues was mediated by verbal memory span with 32 English-speaking six- to eight-year-old children. Spoken relative clause sentences were accompanied by visual context pictures which fully (depicting the actions described within the relative clause) or partially (depicting several referents) met the pragmatic assumptions of relativi…
Incrementality and Prediction in Human Sentence Processing
We identify a number of principles with respect to prediction that, we argue, underpin adult language comprehension: (a) comprehension consists in realizing a mapping between the unfolding sentence and the event representation corresponding to the real‐world event being described; (b) the realization of this mapping manifests as the ability to predict both how the language will unfold, and how the real‐world event would unfold if it were being ex…
The real-time mediation of visual attention by language and world knowledge
The time-course of prediction in incremental sentence processing
Integration of Syntactic and Semantic Information in Predictive Processing
The language machine
Psycholinguistics is the empirical and theoretical study of the mental faculty that underpins our consummate linguistic agility. This review takes a broad look at how the field has developed, from the turn of the 20th century through to the turn of the 21st. Since the linguistic revolution of the mid‐1960s, the field has broadened to encompass a wide range of topics and disciplines. A selection of these is reviewed here, starting with a brief ove…
