Uncovering patterns of semantic predictability in sentence processing Open
Psycholinguistic researchers have used the cloze task to measure the predictability of upcoming words, but have largely discarded the variability in the structure of responses people provide. This variability in the semantic structure of r…

The Impact of Linguistic Prediction Violations on Downstream Recognition Memory and Sentence Recall Open
Predicting upcoming words during language comprehension not only affects processing in the moment but also has consequences for memory, although the source of these memory effects (e.g., whether driven by lingering pre-activations, re-anal…

Differential Recruitment of Inhibitory Control Processes by Directed Forgetting and Thought Substitution Open
Humans have the ability to intentionally forget information via different strategies, included suppression of encoding (directed forgetting) and mental replacement of the item to encode (thought substitution). These strategies may rely on …

Predictability and decomposability separately contribute to compositional processing of idiomatic language Open
When reading, comprehenders construct a message‐level representation and integrate new information as it becomes available. Such compositional processing may differ for idioms, where the meanings of the individual words do not always relat…

Brain connectivity alterations during sleep by closed-loop transcranial neurostimulation predict metamemory sensitivity Open
Metamemory involves the ability to correctly judge the accuracy of our memories. The retrieval of memories can be improved using transcranial electrical brain stimulation (tES) during sleep, but evidence for improvements to metamemory sens…

Representational Pattern Similarity of Electrical Brain Activity Reveals Rapid and Specific Prediction during Language Comprehension Open
Predicting upcoming events is a critical function of the brain, and language provides a fertile testing ground for studying prediction, as comprehenders use context to predict features of upcoming words. Many aspects of the mechanisms of p…

Separable neural mechanisms support intentional forgetting and thought substitution Open
Psychological and neuroscientific experiments have established that people can intentionally forget information via different strategies: direct suppression and thought substitution. However, few studies have directly compared the effectiv…

Representational pattern similarity of electrical brain activity reveals rapid and specific prediction during language comprehension Open
Predicting upcoming stimuli and events is a critical function of the brain, and understanding the mechanisms of prediction has thus become a central topic in neuroscientific research. Language provides a fertile testing ground for examinin…

One-Shot Tagging During Wake and Cueing During Sleep With Spatiotemporal Patterns of Transcranial Electrical Stimulation Can Boost Long-Term Metamemory of Individual Episodes in Humans Open
Targeted memory reactivation (TMR) during slow-wave oscillations (SWOs) in sleep has been demonstrated with sensory cues to achieve about 5-12% improvement in post-nap memory performance on simple laboratory tasks. But prior work has not y…

Adult Age Differences in the Use of Conceptual Combination as an Associative Encoding Strategy Open
It is well-established that aging impairs memory for associations more than it does memory for single items. Aging also impacts processes involved in online language comprehension, including the ability to form integrated, message-level re…
View article: Downstream Behavioral and Electrophysiological Consequences of Word Prediction on Recognition Memory
Downstream Behavioral and Electrophysiological Consequences of Word Prediction on Recognition Memory Open
When people process language, they can use context to predict upcoming information, influencing processing and comprehension as seen in both behavioral and neural measures. Although numerous studies have shown immediate facilitative effect…
View article: Precursors and downstream consequences of prediction in language comprehension
Precursors and downstream consequences of prediction in language comprehension Open
During language comprehension, the brain rapidly integrates incoming linguistic stimuli to not only incrementally build a contextual representation, but also predict upcoming information. This predictive mechanism leads to behavioral facil…

Flexible conceptual combination: Electrophysiological correlates and consequences for associative memory Open
When meaningful stimuli such as words are encountered in groups or pairs (e.g., “elephant‐ferry”), they can be processed either separately or as an integrated concept (“an elephant ferry”). Prior research suggests that memory for integrate…
