基于经验的语言处理理论认为，听者使用他们先前语言输入的属性来实时地限制理解(例如)。这个项目调查了个体经验的差异会预测句子理解的差异的预测。受试者跟随阿尔特曼和卡米德完成了一项视觉世界眼球跟踪任务，该任务操纵动词是否许可场景中特定参照物的预期(例如，男孩将吃/移动蛋糕)。在这一范式中，我们问(1)在这项任务中，语言调节的眼动是否存在可靠的个体差异？如果是这样的话，(2)语言体验的个体差异是否与这些差异相关，以及(3)这种关系是否可以用其他更普遍的认知能力来解释？研究1发现的证据表明，语言经验预测了注视目标的整体易化，而研究2重复了这一效应，并发现当控制工作记忆、抑制控制、语音能力和知觉速度时，这种影响仍然存在。
Experience-based theories of language processing suggest that listeners use the properties of their previous linguistic input to constrain comprehension in real time (e.g.). This project investigates the prediction that individual differences in experience will predict differences in sentence comprehension. Participants completed a visual world eye-tracking task following Altmann and Kamide which manipulates whether the verb licenses the anticipation of a specific referent in the scene (e.g. The boy will eat/move the cake). Within this paradigm, we ask (1) are there reliable individual differences in language-mediated eye movements during this task? If so, (2) do individual differences in language experience correlate with these differences, and (3) can this relationship be explained by other, more general cognitive abilities? Study 1 finds evidence that language experience predicts an overall facilitation in fixating the target, and Study 2 replicates this effect and finds that it remains when controlling for working memory, inhibitory control, phonological ability, and perceptual speed.
