TL;DR: The paradigm provides information about the way language users integrate linguistic information with information derived from the visual environment and is well suited to study one of the key issues of current cognitive psychology, namely the interplay between linguistic and visual information processing.

TL;DR: It is concluded that eye movements are driven by the degree of match, along various dimensions that go beyond simple visual form, between a word and the mental representations of objects in the concurrent visual field.

TL;DR: This paper found that visual attention shifts are co-determined by the time-course of retrieval of all three knowledge types and by the nature of the information in the visual environment, which suggests that retrieval of phonological, shape and semantic knowledge in the spoken-word and picture-recognition systems is cascaded.

TL;DR: It is proposed that prediction occurs via a set of diverse PACS mechanisms which are minimally required for a comprehensive account of predictive language processing and must be revised to take multiple mechanisms, mediating factors, and situational context into account.

TL;DR: It is found that, upon hearing a sentence like, "The boy eats a big cake," 2-year-olds fixate edible objects in a visual scene (a cake) soon after they hear the semantically constraining verb eats and prior to hearing the word cake.
