Predictability speeds up the re-analysis process: An ERP investigation of gender agreement and cloze probability [PDF]
Journal of Neurolinguistics, 2013 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.

Cloze probability does not only affect N400 amplitude: The case of complex prepositions [PDF]
Psychophysiology, 2008 AbstractCloze‐probability levels are inversely correlated with N400 amplitude, indicating an easier integration for expected words in semantic‐pragmatic contexts. Here we exploited the prespecified standard order of complex prepositions and measured the ERPs time‐locked to the last preposition in sentences in which complex prepositions were presented ...

Beyond cloze probability: Parafoveal processing of semantic and syntactic information during reading [PDF]
Journal of Memory and Language, 2018 Abstract Theories of eye movement control in reading assume that early oculomotor decisions are determined by a word’s frequency and cloze probability. This assumption is challenged by evidence that readers are sensitive to the contextual plausibility of an upcoming word: First-pass fixation probability and duration are reduced when the parafoveal ...

Cloze probability in typed text: How predictability in cloze, copying and picture naming tasks affects response times [PDF]
, 2021 The cloze probability (CP) task is used to investigate the way in which sentences are processed. Participants’ task is to complete a sentence that is presented without the final word; however, sentences vary in levels of CP. High CP sentences have a highly anticipated completion word (e.g.

Age-related reduction of adaptive brain response during semantic integration is associated with gray matter reduction. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 While aging is associated with increased knowledge, it is also associated with decreased semantic integration. To investigate brain activation changes during semantic integration, a sample of forty-eight 25-75 year-old adults read sentences with high ...

Language and CognitionLanguage comprehension requires integration of multiple cues, but the underlying mechanisms of how accentuation, as a significant prosodic feature, influences the processing of words with different levels of cloze probability remains unclear.

Cloze enough? Hemodynamic effects of predictive processing during natural reading
NeuroImage, 2021 Evidence accrues that readers form multiple hypotheses about upcoming words. The present study investigated the hemodynamic effects of predictive processing during natural reading by means of combining fMRI and eye movement recordings.

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

Conditional co-occurrence probability acts like frequency in predicting fixation durations
Journal of Eye Movement Research, 2008 The predictability of an upcoming word has been found to be a useful predictor in eye movement research, but is expensive to collect and subjective in nature.

Co-Registered Eye-Movements and Brain Potentials Reveal Multiple Effects of Context Across the Visual Field in Natural Reading. [PDF]
PsychophysiologyABSTRACT This study investigates how expectancy and plausibility influence behavioral and neural measures of language processing during naturalistic reading comprehension. Prior event‐related potential (ERP) studies show evidence of distinct post‐N400 positivities to violations of semantic expectancy and plausibility using artificial serial ...
