Referential Context and Executive Functioning Influence Children's Resolution of Syntactic Ambiguity
Qi, Zhenghan; Love, Jessica; Fisher, Cynthia; Brown-Schmidt, Sarah – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
Classic studies reveal two striking differences between preschoolers and adults in online sentence comprehension. Adults (a) recruit referential context cues to guide syntactic parsing, interpreting an ambiguous phrase as a modifier if a modifier is needed to single out the intended referent among multiple options, and (b) use late-arriving…

Odic, Darko; Pietroski, Paul; Hunter, Tim; Lidz, Jeffrey; Halberda, Justin – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2013
The psychology supporting the use of quantifier words (e.g., "some," "most," "more") is of interest to both scientists studying quantity representation (e.g., number, area) and to scientists and linguists studying the syntax and semantics of these terms. Understanding quantifiers requires both a mastery of the…

Yee, Eiling; Sedivy, Julie C. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2006
Two experiments explore the activation of semantic information during spoken word recognition. Experiment 1 shows that as the name of an object unfolds (e.g., lock), eye movements are drawn to pictorial representations of both the named object and semantically related objects (e.g., key). Experiment 2 shows that objects semantically related to an…
