Individual Differences in Semantic Working Memory Predicts Verb-Mediated Anticipatory Eye Movement during Sentence Comprehension

Poster Session VI

Keyword: Memory

Abstract: We investigated the role of working memory (WM) in prediction during sentence comprehension. Verb-mediated prediction was measured through anticipatory eye movement in the visual world paradigm for 64 healthy young participants. Our findings highlight the critical role of semantic WM, in contrast to phonological or visual-spatial WM, in predictive processing.
