增量语言处理意味着听者在如何构建输入时面临暂时的模糊，这可能会产生误解。在四个“视觉世界”实验中，我们测试了参与认知控制——检测和解决冲突——是否有助于理解过程中的复习。我们记录了听者的眼球运动和动作，而这些动作很容易被错误分析。在实验1和3中，句子跟随非语言冲突任务的试验，该任务操纵认知控制参与，以测试其对修改能力的影响。为了分离认知控制对理解的冲突驱动效应，我们在实验2和实验4中操纵了非冲突任务中的注意。我们观察到，在之前的试验中，当认知控制（多于注意力）被引出时，理解错误更少，复习时间更早。这些结果通过揭示领域一般认知控制参与对语言理解过程中错误修正过程的时间展开的影响，扩展了认知控制与语言加工之间的相关性。
Incremental language processing means that listeners confront temporary ambiguity about how to structure the input, which can generate misinterpretations. In four "visual-world" experiments, we tested whether engaging cognitive control - which detects and resolves conflict - assists revision during comprehension. We recorded listeners' eye-movements and actions while following instructions that were ripe for misanalysis. In Experiments 1 and 3, sentences followed trials from a nonverbal conflict task that manipulated cognitive-control engagement, to test its impact on the ability to revise. To isolate conflict-driven effects of cognitive-control on comprehension, we manipulated attention in a non-conflict task in Experiments 2 and 4. We observed fewer comprehension errors, and earlier revision, when cognitive control (more than attention) was elicited on an immediately preceding trial. These results extend previous correlations between cognitive control and language processing by revealing the influence of domain-general cognitive-control engagement on the temporal unfolding of error-revision processes during language comprehension.
