ABSTRACT Prediction plays a key role in both action processing and language comprehension, yet it remains unclear whether individual differences in action prediction are related to individual differences in language prediction. Using eye-tracking, we examined predictive looking behaviour in 2-year-old Norwegian-speakin...

Prediction is an important component of language comprehension, and language users may pre-activate multiple possible lexical continuations to different degrees. However, it remains unclear whether children with developmental language disorder (DLD) generate graded predictions and recover from prediction violations in...

Statistical learning (SL) - the ability to detect patterns in sensory input without explicit instruction - is crucial for building internal models of the environment. In humans, it notably supports language acquisition, including word segmentation and grammar learning. Evidence across primates, songbirds, rodents, and...

Language comprehension involves actively predicting upcoming words, but it remains unclear how the brain responds when predictions are disconfirmed. In the present study, we examined the effect of prediction disconfirmation by measuring eye movements in two visual-world eye-tracking experiments. Additionally, we explor...

Predictive language comprehension allows children to use prior context to anticipate upcoming information before it becomes available in speech. Although young children use sentence meaning to guide real-time comprehension, less is known about when they generate more specific expectations about upcoming words without d...

Research in language neurobiology in early childhood is key to understanding mature language networks. Thanks to recent non-invasive neuroimaging techniques, such as functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), we have an upgraded knowledge about the developing brain that allows for the identification of early marker...
