Modulation of Predictive Coding in Auditory Paradigms of Varying Complexity in Children With Developmental Language Disorder

European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 63, Issue 8, April 2026.
Event‐related potentials elicited in children with specific language impairment (SLI) and typically developing (controls), averaged across the F3, F4, Fz, C3, C4, and Cz electrodes. The upper panel displays the comparison between first‐ and second‐order complexity paradigms, averaging standard and deviant trials, with the baseline established previous ...

Late Positive Potentials as an Index of “Desirably Difficult” Learning Processes Engaged During Language Comprehension: ERP Evidence From Studies of Domain Knowledge

Psychophysiology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Electrophysiological studies of language comprehension have primarily examined the kind of information that comes to mind, and when, as people process words and build message‐level understanding. However, less is known about the factors that allow people to commit the message‐level information to memory for future use.

Effects of Lexical Frequency in Predictive Processing: Higher Frequency Boosts First Language Speed and Facilitates Second Language Prediction

Language Learning, Volume 76, Issue 1, Page 249-279, March 2026.
Abstract This study explores how word frequency affects verb‐mediated prediction in L1 and L2 speakers, using a visual‐world eye‐tracking task. By manipulating frequency of nouns within subjects (higher; lower) and type of verbs used as predictive cues (semantically restrictive; neutral) in sentences (e.g., The {doctor/surgeon} {opened/moved} the box),
