Case Clozed
Prediction is a central feature of mature language comprehension, but little is known about how and when it develops. This study investigates whether lexical prediction emerges before seven using a novel, naturalistic cloze task. Five and six-year-old children listened to a storybook and occasionally guessed which word might come next. We selected 180 words from the story that were shown to be more or less predictable in a prior cloze norming tas…
Webcams as Windows to the Mind? A Direct Comparison Between In-Lab and Web-Based Eye-Tracking Methods
There is a growing interest in the use of webcams to conduct eye-tracking experiments over the internet. We assessed the performance of two webcam-based eye-tracking techniques for behavioral research: manual annotation of webcam videos (manual eye-tracking) and the automated WebGazer eye-tracking algorithm. We compared these methods to a traditional infrared eye-tracker and assessed their performance in both lab and web-based settings. In both l…
Multiple predictions during language comprehension
Word vs. World Knowledge
Unexpected words or unexpected languages? Two ERP effects of code-switching in naturalistic discourse
Children’s comprehension and repair of garden-path wh -questions
Children’s sentence interpretations often lack flexibility. For example, when French-speaking adults and children hear ambiguous wh-questions like Where did Annie explain that she rode herhorse?, they preferentially associate the wh-phrase with the first verb and adopt the main clause interpretation (e.g., She explained at the campsite). This preferred association results in shorter syntactic dependencies compared to second verb associations (i.e…
