Having decided to look more closely at the N400 and ideas around prediction, this week we will focus our attention on Chow, W. Y., Smith, C., Lau, E., & Phillips, C. (2016). A “bag-of-arguments” mechanism for initial verb predictions. Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 31(5), 577-596. There is also a short follow-up paper for those who want to do a deeper dive into this literature that examines how time factors in to predictive mechanisms for verbs: Chow, W. Y., Momma, S., Smith, C., Lau, E., & Phillips, C. (2016). Prediction as memory retrieval: timing and mechanisms. Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 31(5), 617-627.
