文摘
It is unclear if lexical predictions during comprehension are generated automatically. ERP context effects (N400 and PNP) were affected by top-down comprehension goals. Readers were sensitive to the validity of predictive cues across environments. When global validity was low, participants no longer showed contextual priming. Lexical prediction can be modulated by top-down goals and strategies.
