    "abstract": "The present study evaluated whether listeners can use spatial deixis (e.g., this, that, these, and those) to predict the pluralityand proximity of speakers’ referents. In an eye-tracking task, adults and 5-year-old children viewed scenes while listeningto deictic sentences (e.g., Look at that beautiful baby) and neutral sentences (e.g., Look at the beautiful baby). We foundthat both adults and children used deixis to predict the plurality of the referent (e.g., using this to anticipate a singularreferent). However, only adults used deixis to predict the proximity of the referent to the speaker (e.g., using this toanticipate referents that were proximal to the speaker, and that to identify distal referents). Thus, the present findings revealspecific developmental changes in prediction during language processing. We argue that, beyond determining whetherlisteners predict, determining how listeners predict is crucial to understand prediction’s role in language processing andlearning.",
