The effects of hypermedia annotations on incidental vocabulary learning and reading comprehension
… 1999). Researchers have argued that providing contextual support through pre-modified input (Yano, Long & Ross, 1994) and pictorial information in the form of an illustration (Chun & Plass, 1997; Kost, Foss, & Lenzini, 1999) may optimize conditions for inferring words that were requested …

A kinematic analysis of sign language
… and speech, investigating sign duration in sentence context versus in isolation and identifying kinematic sign markers. To date, there has been little study of continuous signing kinematics; it was previously unknown if kinematic markers existed. Kinematic data were collected from a …

An investigation of how multiple sources of information are integrated during online reading
… recognition and the information conveyed at the sentence level. The first set of studies asks how readers comprehend compound words containing transposed letters that are swapped between the word’s morphemes or that stay within a single morpheme, when these words are encountered in a meaningful …

An acoustic analysis of labialization of coronal nasal consonants in American English
… nasal consonants in potentially assimilating sentence contexts, and identical words ending in labial nasal consonants, across vowel contexts. The frequency of the second formant at vowel offset and during nasal closure was found to be sufficient to discriminate between underlying forms. There …

A New Eye On Semantics: Probing the Spatiotemporal Brain Dynamics Underlying Natural Reading
… thesis, I examined the influence of task and context on the semantic processing of single words in isolation and in a sentence context. In one study, I considered task effects on single-word semantic representations using multivariate pattern analysis. In two further studies, I tested whether …

Age-related differences in semantic priming : evidence from event-related brain potentials
… to a word that immediately follows a related sentence or single-word is age-invariant. This was done using the N400 event-related brain potential (ERP). N400 amplitude varies inversely with semantic priming (Kutas, 1980), and this effect is larger for sentence primes than for word primes …

Ambiguity resolution of adults with low literacy
… paradigms has suggested that (a) even in sentence context, multiple meanings of ambiguous words (i.e., homographs) are activated, but quickly suppressed, and (b) college-aged readers with poorer comprehension skills and older adults take longer to suppress the inappropriate features to …

Morphological Segmentation During Silent Reading
… were monitored while they silently read sentences where the monomorphemic members (guest; bale) of monomorphemic-polymorphemic (MP) pairs of heterographic homophones (guest-guessed) and of monomorphemic-monomorphemic (MM) pairs of heterographic homophones (bale-bail) were embedded. The …

Cognitive task performances as biomarkers & candidate endophenotypes in childhood neurodevelopmental disorders: ADHD & autism
… coherence style as observed by a disregard for sentence context and impairment in response monitoring were in common to both disorders. Comorbidity was not associated with a more impaired cognitive profile than the pure groups. The comorbid ASD-ADHD group showed a response inhibition deficit and …

Context Effects on Sublexical Processing in Older and Younger Neurologically Typical Adults
… that processing may be influenced by contextual factors such as real word/non-word status, and sentence context. Older adults are susceptible to biased perception at the single word level, while younger adults are not, but sentence level context effects as a function of age have yet to …

An eye-movement analysis of the word-predictability effect
… eye-movements were monitored as they read sentences for comprehension on a computer screen. In Experiments 1 and 2, a critical target-word that was either of high- or low-frequency and either predictable or unpredictable was embedded in experimental sentences. The nature of the preview of …

Mining entity and relation structures from text: An effort-light approach
… applications and very challenging due to the context-agnostic label assignment in distant supervision, and we present principled, efficient models and algorithms for inferring fine-grained type path for entity mention based on the sentence context. - Extracting Typed Entity Relationships: We …
