Southwell, Rosy; Gregg, Julie; Bixler, Robert; D'Mello, Sidney K. – Cognitive Science, 2020
We know that reading involves coordination between textual characteristics and visual attention, but research linking eye movements during reading and comprehension assessed after reading is surprisingly limited, especially for reading long connected texts. We tested two competing possibilities: (1) the weak association hypothesis: Links between…

Oliveira, Cátia M.; Henderson, Lisa M.; Hayiou-Thomas, Marianna E. – Cognitive Science, 2023
The ability to extract patterns from sensory input across time and space is thought to underlie the development and acquisition of language and literacy skills, particularly the subdomains marked by the learning of probabilistic knowledge. Thus, impairments in procedural learning are hypothesized to underlie neurodevelopmental disorders, such as…

Malassis, Raphaëlle; Rey, Arnaud; Fagot, Joël – Cognitive Science, 2018
Human and non-human primates share the ability to extract adjacent dependencies and, under certain conditions, non-adjacent dependencies (i.e., predictive relationships between elements that are separated by one or several intervening elements in a sequence). In this study, we explore the online extraction dynamics of non-adjacent dependencies in…

Herdagdelen, Amaç; Marelli, Marco – Cognitive Science, 2017
Corpus-based word frequencies are one of the most important predictors in language processing tasks. Frequencies based on conversational corpora (such as movie subtitles) are shown to better capture the variance in lexical decision tasks compared to traditional corpora. In this study, we show that frequencies computed from social media are…

Stocker, Kurt; Hartmann, Matthias; Martarelli, Corinna S.; Mast, Fred W. – Cognitive Science, 2016
People often make use of a spatial "mental time line" to represent events in time. We investigated whether the eyes follow such a mental time line during online language comprehension of sentences that refer to the past, present, and future. Participants' eye movements were measured on a blank screen while they listened to these…
