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

Filling the gap: cloze probability and sentence constraint norms for 807 European Portuguese sentences [PDF]
Sentence 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.

From literal meaning to veracity in two hundred milliseconds
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
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 ...

Auditory and motion metaphors have different scalp distributions: an ERP study
While many links have been established between sensory-motor words used literally (kick the ball) and sensory-motor regions of the brain, it is less clear whether metaphorically used words (kick the habit) also show such signs of embodiment. Additionally,

The time course of contextual effects on visual word recognition
Sentence comprehension depends on continuous prediction of upcoming words. However, when and how contextual information affects the bottom-up streams of visual word recognition is unknown.
