Disfluencies and human language comprehension

Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2004
Spoken language contains disfluencies, which include editing terms such as uh and um as well as repeats and corrections.

Simulating visibility during language comprehension

Cognition, 2007
In this study, participants performed a sentence-picture verification task in which they read sentences about an agent viewing an object (e.g., moose) through a differentially occlusive medium (e.g., clean vs. fogged goggles), and then verified whether a subsequently pictured object was mentioned in the previous sentence. Picture verification latencies

Language comprehension in old age

Cognitive Psychology, 1979
Abstract Three experiments examined the effects of aging on comprehension of spoken language. Integrative and constructive aspects of comprehension showed much more marked age-related deficits than registration of surface meaning. Experiment 1 showed that old subjects had difficulty in making inferences based on presented facts. Experiment 2 revealed
