So Cloze yet so Far: N400 Amplitude is Better Predicted by Distributional Information than Human Predictability Judgements
James A. Michaelov, Seana Coulson, Benjamin K. Bergen
More predictable words are easier to process - they are read faster and elicit smaller neural signals associated with processing difficulty, most notably, the N400 component of the…
