Electrical brain potentials reveal temporal dynamics of word prediction during language comprehension
Anticipation of upcoming input has been shown to be critical to the speed and accuracy of many cognitive processes, particularly in domains such as language in which the listener must process an unbroken stream of 3-5 words per second. However, little is known about how the predictions themselves are generated in real time. One important but untested assumption of existing models of language pr...
متن کاملHow do people construct logical form during language comprehension?
How do people interpret ambiguous sentences containing more than one quantifier, such as Every kid climbed a tree? We report four sentence-picture matching experiments that used priming to investigate whether comprehenders construct logical-form representations during processing. Experiment 1 investigated priming in active-voice sentences containing transitive verbs and found priming effects of...
متن کاملPrediction During Natural Language Comprehension.
The notion of prediction is studied in cognitive neuroscience with increasing intensity. We investigated the neural basis of 2 distinct aspects of word prediction, derived from information theory, during story comprehension. We assessed the effect of entropy of next-word probability distributions as well as surprisal A computational model determined entropy and surprisal for each word in 3 lite...
متن کاملWhat do we mean by prediction in language comprehension?
We consider several key aspects of prediction in language comprehension: its computational nature, the representational level(s) at which we predict, whether we use higher level representations to predictively pre-activate lower level representations, and whether we 'commit' in any way to our predictions, beyond pre-activation. We argue that the bulk of behavioral and neural evidence suggests t...
متن کاملSemantic prediction in language comprehension: evidence from brain potentials
Do people predict specific word-forms during language comprehension? In an Event-Related Potential (ERP) study participants read German sentences with predictable (The goalkeeper claims that the slick ball was easy to CATCH.) and unpredictable (The kids boasted that the young horse was easy to SADDLE.) verbs. Verbs were either consistent with the expected word-form (catch/saddle) or inconsisten...
