W e were able \nto observe the effects of relevant visual context on the \nrapid mental processes that accompany spoken language \ncomprehension by recording eye movements using a \nhead-mounted eye-tracking system while subjects \nfollowed instructions to manipulate real objects. Under \nconditions that approximate an ordinary language \nenvironment, incorporating goal-directed action, the \nvisual context influenced spoken word recognition and \nmediated syntactic processing, even during the earliest \nmoments of language processing.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"17","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3rt1h12f","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Michael","middle_name":"","last_name":"Spivey-Knowlton","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Rochester","department":""},{"first_name":"Michael","middle_name":"","last_name":"Tanenhaus","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Rochester","department":""},{"first_name":"Kathleen","middle_name":"","last_name":"Eberhard","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Rochester","department":""},{"first_name":"Julie","middle_name":"","last_name":"Sedivy","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Rochester","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1995-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/33033/galley/24095/download/"}]}
