The effect of contextual plausibility on word skipping during reading
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Cognition"
DOI: 10.1016/j.cognition.2020.104184
Abstract: Recent eye-movement evidence suggests readers are more likely to skip a high-frequency word than a low-frequency word independently of the semantic or syntactic acceptability of the word in the sentence. This has been interpreted as… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.futures.2021.102706
Abstract: Abstract One of the recurring dreams in the theories and practices of architecture is to see predictions actualized. However, visions rarely work out exactly as intended. Against this incongruity, this paper positions its argument between… read more here.

Exact model comparisons in the plausibility framework

DOI: 10.1016/j.jspi.2021.07.013
Abstract: Plausibility is a formalization of exact tests for parametric models and generalizes procedures such as Fisher's exact test. The resulting tests are based on cumulative probabilities of the probability density function and evaluate consistency with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2016.12.008
Abstract: ABSTRACT Expectancy mechanisms are routinely used by the cognitive system in stimulus processing and in anticipation of appropriate responses. Electrophysiology research has documented negative shifts of brain activity when expectancies are violated within a local… read more here.

Breaking Plausibility Without Breaking Presence - Evidence For The Multi-Layer Nature Of Plausibility
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics"
DOI: 10.1109/tvcg.2022.3150496
Abstract: A novel theoretical model recently introduced coherence and plausibility as the essential conditions of XR experiences, challenging contemporary presence-oriented concepts. This article reports on two experiments validating this model, which assumes coherence activation on three… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/cogs.12451
Abstract: Counterfactual thinking involves imagining hypothetical alternatives to reality. Philosopher David Lewis (1973, 1979) argued that people estimate the subjective plausibility that a counterfactual event might have occurred by comparing an imagined possible world in which… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jpc.15084
Abstract: In evaluating injury in children, child protection paediatricians are tasked with determining whether the history given by parents or caregivers is valid with respect to explaining injury causation. This paper summarises metacognition and in particular… read more here.

DOI: 10.1162/jocn_a_01483
Abstract: Using behavioral and fMRI paradigms, we asked how the physical plausibility of complex 3-D objects, as defined by the object's congruence with 3-D Euclidean geometry, affects behavioral thresholds and neural responses to depth information. Stimuli… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/17470218221092400
Abstract: This study examines whether English native speakers and highly proficient non-native speakers make comparable use of plausibility information during online sentence processing. Two sentence types involving temporarily ambiguous structural configurations -- subordinate-clause ambiguity sentences and… read more here.
