Anticipatory Deaccenting in Language Comprehension.
We evaluated the hypothesis that listeners can generate expectations about upcoming input using anticipatory deaccenting, in which the absence of a nuclear pitch accent on an utterance-new noun is licensed by the subsequent repetition of that noun (e.g. Drag the SQUARE with the house to the TRIangle with the house). The phonemic restoration paradigm was modified to obscure word-initial segmenta...
متن کاملSyntactic Adaptation in Language Comprehension
In this paper we investigate the manner in which the human language comprehension system adapts to shifts in probability distributions over syntactic structures, given experimentally controlled experience with those structures. We replicate a classic reading experiment, and present a model of the behavioral data that implements a form of Bayesian belief update over the course of the experiment.
متن کاملSimulating Realism in Language Comprehension
Do mental simulations of perceptual information look more like high-resolution photographs or sketchy line drawings? In the domain of language comprehension, considerable evidence suggests that words and sentences trigger simulations, but it is unclear to what extent they resemble perceptual reality. We explored the possibility that different types of language may be associated with simulations...
متن کاملVisually Situated Language Comprehension
Over the past two decades, ‘visually situated’ language comprehension (the interplay between language comprehension, attention, and non-linguistic visual context) has emerged as an increasingly active area of research. One important result in this area is that both linguistic andworld knowledge, as well as visual cues, can rapidly inform the unfolding interpretation as ref lected by comprehende...
متن کاملImitation improves language comprehension.
Humans imitate each other during social interaction. This imitative behavior streamlines social interaction and aids in learning to replicate actions. However, the effect of imitation on action comprehension is unclear. This study investigated whether vocal imitation of an unfamiliar accent improved spoken-language comprehension. Following a pretraining accent comprehension test, participants w...
