Journal ArticleDOI
Integration of visual and linguistic information in spoken language comprehension
TL;DR: To test the effects of relevant visual context on the rapid mental processes that accompany spoken language comprehension, eye movements were recorded with a head-mounted eye-tracking system while subjects followed instructions to manipulate real objects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling the Influence of Thematic Fit (and Other Constraints) in On-line Sentence Comprehension
TL;DR: This article explored the time course with which readers use event-specific world knowledge (thematic fit) to resolve structural ambiguity through experiments and implementation of constraint-based and two-stage models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Eye movements as a window into real-time spoken language comprehension in natural contexts
TL;DR: It is argued that context affected the earliest moments of language processing because it was highly accessible and relevant to the behavioral goals of the listener.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resolving attachment ambiguities with multiple constraints.
TL;DR: Analyses of text corpora, sentence fragment completions, and self-paced reading experiments were conducted to demonstrate that both local information and contextual information contribute to the on-line resolution of prepositional phrase attachment ambiguities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Context effects in syntactic ambiguity resolution: discourse and semantic influences in parsing reduced relative clauses.
TL;DR: This article examines how certain types of semantic and discourse context affect the processing of relative clauses which are temporarily ambiguous between a relative clause and a main clause (e.g., "The actress selected by the director ...").
