    "title": "Adaptation to UnexpectedWord-Forms in Highly Predictive Sentential Contexts",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Readers and listeners rely upon previous experience to generate predictions about multiple aspects of an unfolding\nlinguistic signal. Error signals elicited by unexpected input feed forward to higher-level units, serving in the adjustment of\nexpectancies and thus increasing the precision of predictions in that context. When a syntactic ambiguity is resolved with a\ndis-preferred continuation, a garden-path effect occurs, but decreases in magnitude as a function of exposure to the unexpected\nevent. But, can readers adjust lower-level expectations about word forms in contexts that do not permit overt higher-level\nambiguity? We monitored eye-movements as participants read expected or unexpected words in highly-constraining sentences.\nHalf of items contained the predicted word and half contained a plausible but unexpected word. Adaptation—in the form of\ndecreased fixation duration on unexpected words—was observed on first fixation duration but nowhere else, suggesting that\nadaptation occurs at different levels of a multilayered processing system.",
