Journal ArticleDOI
An integrated theory of language production and comprehension
Martin J. Pickering,Simon Garrod +1 more
TL;DR: It is asserted that producing and understanding are interwoven, and that this interweaving is what enables people to predict themselves and each other.
Journal ArticleDOI
What do we mean by prediction in language comprehension
TL;DR: It is argued that the bulk of behavioural and neural evidence suggests that the authors predict probabilistically and at multiple levels and grains of representation, and that all these properties of language understanding can be naturally explained and productively explored within a multi-representational hierarchical actively generative architecture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Four central questions about prediction in language processing
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reconciling time, space and function: A new dorsal–ventral stream model of sentence comprehension
TL;DR: A new dorsal-ventral stream framework for language comprehension which unifies basic neurobiological assumptions with a cross-linguistic neurocognitive sentence comprehension model and is supported by a range of existing empirical findings and helps to resolve a number of theoretical and empirical puzzles within the existing dorsal- ventral streams literature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predictive sentence processing in L2 and L1: What is different?
TL;DR: It is proposed that native and L2 speakers are underlyingly the same as far as sentence processing mechanisms are concerned, and that potential differences in anticipatory behavior can be accounted for by the same factors that drive individual differences in native speakers.

Journal ArticleDOI
A simplest systematics for the organization of turn-taking for conversation
TL;DR: Turn-taking is used for the ordering of moves in games, for allocating political office, for regulating traffic at intersections, for the servicing of customers at business establishments, and for talking in interviews, meetings, debates, ceremonies, conversations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toward a model of text comprehension and production.
Walter Kintsch,Teun A. van Dijk +1 more
TL;DR: The semantic structure of texts can be described both at the local microlevel and at a more global macrolevel, and a model for text comprehension based on this notion accounts for the formation of a coherent semantic text base in terms of a cyclical process constrained by limitations of working memory.

Journal ArticleDOI
Reading senseless sentences: brain potentials reflect semantic incongruity
Marta Kutas,Steven A. Hillyard +1 more
TL;DR: In a sentence reading task, words that occurred out of context were associated with specific types of event-related brain potentials that elicited a late negative wave (N400).
Journal ArticleDOI
A theory of reading: From eye fixations to comprehension.
TL;DR: A model of reading comprehension that accounts for the allocation of eye fixations of college students reading scientific passages is presented, embedded in a theoretical framework capable of accommodating the flexibility of reading.
