Facial Expressions of Sentence Comprehension [PDF]
2018 IEEE 23rd International Conference on Digital Signal Processing (DSP), 2018 Understanding facial expressions allows access to one’s intentional and affective states. Using the findings in psychology and neuroscience, in which physical behaviors of the face are linked to emotional states, this paper aims to study sentence comprehension shown by facial expressions.

Target Complexity Modulates Syntactic Priming During Comprehension
Frontiers in Psychology, 2020 Syntactic priming is known to facilitate comprehension of the target sentence if the syntactic structure of the target sentence aligns with the structure of the prime (Branigan et al., 2005; Tooley and Traxler, 2010).

Retrieval interference in sentence comprehension [PDF]
Journal of Memory and Language, 2006 The role of interference effects in sentence processing has recently begun to receive attention, however whether these effects arise during encoding or retrieval remains unclear. This paper draws on basic memory research to help distinguish these explanations and reports data from an experiment that manipulates the possibility for retrieval ...

Structural priming in sentence comprehension: A single prime is enough. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Experiencing a syntactic structure affects how we process subsequent instances of that structure. This phenomenon, called structural priming, is observed both in language production and in language comprehension.

Semantic focus and sentence comprehension [PDF]
Cognition, 1979 Reaction time to detect a phoneme target in a sentence was found to be faster when the word in which the target occurred formed part of the semantic focus of the sentence. Focus was determined by asking a question before the sentence; that part of the sentence which comprised the answer to the sentence was assumed to be focussed. This procedure made it

Processing strategies in sentence comprehension [PDF]
Memory & Cognition, 1976 Response latencies in sentence-picture verification tasks were compared as a function of whether a mismatch was located in the logical subject (LS), verb (V), or logical object (LO) of the sentence. Sentences were presented auditorily and varied in voice and reversibility.
