Sentence processing is modulated by the current linguistic environment and a priori information: An fMRI study
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Brain and Behavior"
DOI: 10.1002/brb3.1308
Abstract: Words are not processed in isolation but in rich contexts that are used to modulate and facilitate language comprehension. Here, we investigate distinct neural networks underlying two types of contexts, the current linguistic environment and… read more here.

Effects of Surprisal and Locality on Danish Sentence Processing: An Eye-Tracking Investigation
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal of Psycholinguistic Research"
DOI: 10.1007/s10936-017-9482-2
Abstract: An eye-tracking experiment in Danish investigates two dominant accounts of sentence processing: locality-based theories that predict a processing advantage for sentences where the distance between the major syntactic heads is minimized, and the surprisal theory… read more here.

Age-related differences in the retrieval of phonologically similar words during sentence processing: Evidence from ERPs
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Brain and Language"
DOI: 10.1016/j.bandl.2021.104982
Abstract: We investigated how phonologically similar words are encoded and retrieved from memory during sentence processing across younger and older adults. Critical sentences included two phonologically similar or dissimilar noun phrases (henceforth NPs) followed by a… read more here.

Online sentence processing impairments in agrammatic and logopenic primary progressive aphasia: Evidence from ERP
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Neuropsychologia"
DOI: 10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2020.107728
Abstract: Evidence from psycholinguistic research indicates that sentence processing is impaired in Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA), and more so in individuals with agrammatic (PPA-G) than logopenic (PPA-L) subtypes. Studies have mostly focused on offline sentence production… read more here.

Are foreign-accented speakers that ‘incredible’? The impact of the speaker's indexical properties on sentence processing

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2021.107902
Abstract: This study investigated the impact of the speaker's identity generated by the voice on sentence processing. We examined the relation between ERP components associated with the processing of the voice (N100 and P200) from voice… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0305000921000908
Abstract: This study investigated the longitudinal relationship between children's domain-general cognitive constraints underlying phonological and sentence processing development in a big sample of typically developing children. 104 children were tested on non-linguistic processing speed, phonological skills… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/10489223.2022.2141633
Abstract: ABSTRACT Event-related potentials (ERPs) have become widespread in second language acquisition (SLA) research and a growing body of literature has been produced in recent years. We surveyed 61 SLA papers that use ERPs to study… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/cogs.12589
Abstract: Given the replication crisis in cognitive science, it is important to consider what researchers need to do in order to report results that are reliable. We consider three changes in current practice that have the… read more here.

Rare Constructions Are More Often Sentence-Initial

DOI: 10.1111/cogs.12714
Abstract: Main clause phenomena (MCPs) are syntactic constructions that occur predominantly or exclusively in main clauses. I propose a processing explanation for MCPs. Sentence processing is easiest at the beginning of the sentence (requiring less search);… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/cogs.12814
Abstract: Abstract A key component of research on human sentence processing is to characterize the processing difficulty associated with the comprehension of words in context. Models that explain and predict this difficulty can be broadly divided… read more here.
