Studying musical and linguistic prediction in comparable ways: the melodic cloze probability method [PDF]
Prediction or expectancy is thought to play an important role in both music and language processing. However, prediction is currently studied independently in the two domains, limiting research on relations between predictive mechanisms in music and ...

Filling the gap: Cloze probability and sentence constraint norms for 807 European Portuguese sentences. [PDF]
AbstractSentence processing is affected by the sentence context and word expectancy. To investigate sentence comprehension experimentally, it is useful to have sentence completion norms with both context constraint and word expectancy measures. In this study, two experiments were conducted to collect norms for completion of 807 European Portuguese ...

Cloze probability, predictability ratings, and computational estimates for 205 English sentences, aligned with existing EEG and reading time data. [PDF]
AbstractWe release a database of cloze probability values, predictability ratings, and computational estimates for a sample of 205 English sentences (1726 words), aligned with previously released word-by-word reading time data (both self-paced reading and eye-movement records; Frank et al., Behavior Research Methods, 45(4), 1182–1190.

Overlapping dual ERP responses to low cloze probability sentence continuations. [PDF]
AbstractIn 2005, DeLong, Urbach, and Kutas took advantage of the a/an English indefinite article phonological alternation and the sensitivities of the N400 ERP component to show that readers can neurally preactivate individual words of a sentence (including nouns and their prenominal indefinite articles) in a graded fashion with a likelihood estimated ...

Linguistic Prediction in Autism Spectrum Disorder [PDF]
Background: Autism spectrum disorder has been argued to involve impairments in domain-general predictive abilities. There is strong evidence that individuals with ASD have trouble navigating the dynamic world due to an inability to predict the outcomes ...

Chinese EFL learners’ processing of English binomials: the role of interlexical and intralexical factors [PDF]
Binomials have been relatively understudied compared to other types of multiword expressions (MWEs) in second language research, such as collocations and idioms.

To investigate the timing relationship between lexical access and later processes, the present study compared event-related potentials (ERPs) in response to spoken Dutch sentences that were either correct or contained gender agreement violations on the article or adjective preceding the noun.

Are Linguistic Prediction Deficits Characteristic of Adults with Dyslexia?
Individuals with dyslexia show deficits in phonological abilities, rapid automatized naming, short-term/working memory, processing speed, and some aspects of sensory and visual processing.

During reading or listening, people can generate predictions about the lexical and morphosyntactic properties of upcoming input based on available context. Psycholinguistic experiments that study predictability or control for it conventionally rely on a human-based approach and estimate predictability via the cloze task.
