Predictability's aftermath: Downstream consequences of word predictability as revealed by repetition effects [PDF]
, 2018 Stimulus processing in language and beyond is shaped by context, with predictability having a particularly well-attested influence on the rapid processes that unfold during the presentation of a word.

Testing the limits of contextual constraint: interactions with word frequency and parafoveal preview during fluent reading [PDF]
, 2017 Contextual constraint is a key factor affecting a word's fixation duration and its likelihood of being fixated during reading. Previous research has generally demonstrated additive effects of predictability and frequency in fixation times.

Frontiers in Psychology, 2019 Prior studies on language processing in aging have shown that older adults experience integration difficulties for contextually unpredictable target words (as indicated by low cloze probabilities in prior ratings), and that such comprehension ...

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.

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.

Hypothesis Only Baselines in Natural Language Inference [PDF]
, 2018 We propose a hypothesis only baseline for diagnosing Natural Language Inference (NLI). Especially when an NLI dataset assumes inference is occurring based purely on the relationship between a context and a hypothesis, it follows that assessing entailment

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 ...

Early EEG correlates of word frequency and contextual predictability in reading [PDF]
, 2019 Previous research into written language comprehension has been equivocal as to whether word frequency and contextual predictability effects share an early time course of processing.

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 ...
