    "abstract": "A word’s predictability or surprisal, as determined by cloze\nprobabilities or language models (e.g. Frank, Otten, Galli, &\nVigliocco, 2015) is related to processing effort, in that less ex-\npected words take more effort to process (e.g. Hale, 2001). A\nwords surprisal, however, may also be influenced by the non-\nlinguistic context, such as visual cues: In the visual world\nparadigm (VWP), for example, anticipatory eye movements\nsuggest that comprehenders exploit the scene to predict what\nwill be mentioned next (Altmann & Kamide, 1999). How vi-\nsual context affects word surprisal and processing effort, how-\never, remains unclear. Here, we present evidence that visually-\ndetermined probabilistic expectations for a spoken target word\npredict graded processing effort for that word, in both pupil-\nlometric (ICA) and ERP (N400) measures. These findings\ndemonstrate that the non-linguistic context can immediately\ninfluence both lexical expectations, and surprisal-based pro-\ncessing effort.",
