Language comprehension and sentence processing represent central pillars in cognitive neuroscience and psycholinguistics, addressing the mechanisms by which humans interpret linguistic input. The ...

Figure 1: Timing of syntactic processing following different strategies. The colored circles refer to the nodes of the syntactic structure that are built at the time point the word in the same color ...

Attended by 375 people from North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, the CUNY Conference featured 34 presentations and 309 posters at the poster session. Institute of Cogntive Science would like to ...

Abstract submission is now open for the 32nd Annual CUNY Conference on Human Sentence Processing to be held at the Hilton Embassy Suites Hotel in Boulder, Colorado March 29-31, 2019 and hosted by the ...

A team of linguistics and psychology researchers has discovered that when a brief sentence is flashed, our brains detect its basic linguistic structure extremely quickly -- in roughly 150 milliseconds ...

To understand language, we have to remember the words that were uttered and combine them into an interpretation. How does the brain retain information long enough to accomplish this, despite the fact ...

In a recent study published in Nature Communications, researchers examine neural networks in the left language-dominant hemisphere responsible for semantic integration using intracranial recordings in ...

Researchers find that comprehension is related to predicting sentence structure in real time. Notably, different languages guide prediction in different ways. People often seem to understand language ...

As if wrinkled skin and stiff joints were not enough reason to dread getting older, research also indicates that our cognitive skills decline with age, with potential deficits including less efficient ...

Prediction has been touted as a “canonical cortical computation” [i], and essential for basic linguistic processes [ii]. Naturally, the efficiency with which the brain can implement its various forms ...
