    "title": "Using determiners as contextual cues in sentence comprehension:\nA comparison between younger and older adults",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Younger adults use both semantic and phonological cues to\nquickly and efficiently localize the referent during sentence\ncomprehension. While some behavioral studies suggest that\nolder adults use contextual information even more strongly\nthan younger adults, ERP studies have shown that this\npopulation, as a group, is less apt at using contextual semantic\ncues to predict upcoming words. The current study extends\nthe investigation of contextual cue processing in auditory\nsentence comprehension beyond semantic cue processing, by\ncomparing younger and older adults in their ability to use\nphonological cues in indefinite articles (a/an) to localize the\nreferent in an eye-tracking visual world paradigm. Our results\nsuggest that both age groups use such phonological\ninformation for referent localization, but with different\ntimelines: younger adults use the cues to anticipate an\nupcoming word, whereas older adults show delayed cue\nprocessing after the target word has been spoken. Together\nwith findings from semantic context processing, these results\nsupport a model of sentence comprehension in which the use\nof contextual cues continues with aging, but is no longer as\nefficient as in the young system for anticipatory word\nretrieval.",
