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 ...

A dataset of metaphors from the italian literature: exploring psycholinguistic variables and the role of context. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Defining the specific role of the factors that affect metaphor processing is a fundamental step for fully understanding figurative language comprehension, either in discourse and conversation or in reading poems and novels.

Co-Registered Eye-Movements and Brain Potentials Reveal Multiple Effects of Context Across the Visual Field in Natural Reading. [PDF]

Psychophysiology
ABSTRACT 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 ...

Cloze probability and completion norms for 498 sentences: Behavioral and neural validation using event-related potentials [PDF]

Behavior Research Methods, 2010
Three decades after their publication, Bloom and Fischler's (1980) sentence completion norms continue to demonstrate widespread utility. The aim of the present study was to extend this contribution by expanding the existing database of high-constraint, high cloze probability sentences.

How does foreign accent affect template matching mechanisms? ERP evidence from Polish

LingBaW, 2019
Sentential context is believed to have particularly robust effects on the processing of foreign-accented speech (Lev-Ari 2015). However, recent neurolinguistic studies investigating the relation between non-native speech and semantic predictability ...

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.

From literal meaning to veracity in two hundred milliseconds

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014
Do the integration of semantic information and that of world knowledge occur simultaneously or in sequence during sentence processing? To address this question, we investigated event-related brain potentials elicited by the critical word of English ...

Large-scale replication study reveals a limit on probabilistic prediction in language comprehension

eLife, 2018
Do people routinely pre-activate the meaning and even the phonological form of upcoming words? The most acclaimed evidence for phonological prediction comes from a 2005 Nature Neuroscience publication by DeLong, Urbach and Kutas, who observed a graded ...

The neural processing of the interaction between accentuation and lexical prediction during spoken sentence comprehension

Language and Cognition
Language 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 probability in typed text: How predictability in cloze, copying and picture naming tasks affects response times

, 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.
