So Cloze Yet So Far: N400 Amplitude Is Better Predicted by Distributional Information Than Human Predictability Judgements [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Cognitive and Developmental Systems, 2021 More predictable words are easier to process—they are read faster and elicit smaller neural signals associated with processing difficulty, most notably, the N400 component of the event-related brain potential. Thus, it has been argued that the prediction
