    "title": "Inhibitory Control Supports Referential Context Use in Language Production and\nComprehension",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Using referential context in language (e.g., saying “blue pen”\nwhen two different-colored pens are visible) makes\ncommunication efficient. But it is still unclear which general\ncognitive processes support the use of context in\nconversation. Research on pragmatic use in language\nimplicates working memory and inhibitory control; however,\nno studies have shown evidence of a shared cognitive\nmechanism in both production and comprehension within an\nindividual. The current study asked a) whether referential\ncontext use is supported by the same cognitive mechanisms in\nproduction and comprehension, b) which processes are\nimplicated, and c) whether the nature of the context itself\naffects processing. Participants completed a referential\ncommunication eye-tracking task in which a disambiguating\nadjective was either necessary or over-informative, as well as\na cognitive test battery. The results implicated inhibitory\ncontrol in both production and comprehension (although the\ncomprehension results were more variable), suggesting a\nshared underlying cognitive mechanism across domains.",
