Individual differences in sentence processing
… elucidate shared mechanisms between retrieval in sentence processing and memory retrieval processes in nonlinguistic domains using an individual differences approach. Prior research in individual differences in sentence processing has provided conflicting evidence as to whether the same memory …

Working Memory Effects on Bilingual Sentence Processing
… and late Korean/English bilingual speakers when processing globally ambiguous English and Korean relative clauses. Results showed that both the English monolingual group and the Korean/English bilingual group showed effects of working memory capacity (WMC) in the interpretive and …

Grammatical constraints in second language sentence processing
… morpho-syntactic information during online processing of L2 sentences, leading to an ongoing debate about how they represent and process structural information in sentence processing. Some researchers propose that L2 sentence processing is qualitatively different from L1 sentence processing …

Sentence processing in aphasia : single case treatment studies
… presents three single case investigations of sentence processing disorders in aphasia. Assessment of the subjects was guided by models of normal sentence production and comprehension, and involved several new tests which were developed to investigate particular aspects of processing. The …

Toward an integrated model of sentence processing in reading
In experiments investigating sentence processing, eye movement measures such as fixation durations and regression proportions while reading are commonly used to draw conclusions about processing difficulties. However, these measures are the result of an interaction of multiple cognitive levels and …

Aging and semantic integration in sentence processing: Testing the cognitive workload of wrap-up
… study investigated the cognitive workload of sentence and clause wrap-up in younger and older readers. A large number of studies have demonstrated the presence of wrap-up effects, peaks in processing time at clause and sentence boundaries that some argue reflect attention to organizational and …

The role of Question-Answer Congruence (QAC) in child language and adult sentence processing
… 1992) in child language acquisition and adult sentence processing. Specifically, I present two case studies: sentences with "only" and sentences with the Rise-Fall-Rise contour (RFR, Jackendoff 1972). Case study 1 investigates a long-standing puzzle concerning the acquisition of "only." Since …

The Effects of Attentional Focus, Presentation Mode, and Language Experience on Second Language Learners' Sentence Processing
… experience on second language (L2) learners' processing of Object-Verb-Subject sentences in Spanish. The Competition Model and the first language sentence processing research that centers on it served as one source of insight into the development of processing strategies. The information …

Read carefully, this is important: The impact of value-driven strategies on sentence processing and memory
Submission original under an indefinite embargo labeled 'Open Access'. The submission was exported from vireo on 2023-09-01 without embargo terms

Sentence processing in Spanish as a second language: A study of context, background knowledge and word order
Sentence processing research has demonstrated a strong tendency for second language learners to assign the role of subject or agent to the first noun of an utterance even though grammatical morphemes and function words indicate that the second noun is the subject (Bates and MacWhinney, 1984: Gass, …

The neurofunctional correlates of sentence processing: focus on difficulties of morphosyntactic processing and thematic role assignment in aphasia
… to the understanding of the neural correlates of sentence comprehension, based on behavioral and neuroimaging evidence from aphasia. A substantial amount of research based on lesion-symptom mapping has been devoted to this issue, but several issues remain to be clarified. To consider just an …

Processing of English relative clauses by adult L2 learners
… understanding of the characteristics of the L2 sentence processing mechanism deployed by adult L2 learners would provide valuable insights into this important human ability. The present dissertation is an attempt to draw a detailed picture of the L2 sentence processing mechanism by comparing L1 …

Processing of canonical and scrambled word orders in native and non-native Korean
… present study aims to investigate the nature of processing mechanisms in adult first-language (L1) and second-language (L2) sentence processing, specifically, whether adult L2 learners are capable of developing native-like sentence processing strategies. By testing a head-final language (Korean) …

Use of plausibility information and structural preference in resolving sentence ambiguity in Korean
This study investigated online processing of temporarily ambiguous relative clause (RC) constructions in Korean to determine how multiple sources of information, such as syntactic preference and semantic plausibility, were employed in reading comprehension by three groups of Korean speakers with …

Working memory and prediction in human sentence parsing
… the working memory mechanism subserving human sentence processing and its relative contribution to processing difficulty as compared to syntactic prediction. Within the last decades, evidence for a content-addressable memory system underlying human cognition in general has accumulated (e.g., …

Memory limitations in sentence comprehension
… cognitive behavior by deriving predictions about sentence processing difficulty. Results from five different sentence comprehension experiments were used to evaluate the model's assumptions about memory limitations. The predictions of the complexity metric were compared to the locality …

Garden path tripartite compounds
… separate units. A classic example of this is the sentence Washing machines can be boring. To a more extreme degree, spaced tripartite compounds such as dog bite victim, where the middle constituent is a homonymous verb-derived noun, present an even greater ambiguity since these tripartite …
