Kretzschmar, Franziska; Schlesewsky, Matthias; Staub, Adrian – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2015
Two very reliable influences on eye fixation durations in reading are word frequency, as measured by corpus counts, and word predictability, as measured by cloze norming. Several studies have reported strictly additive effects of these 2 variables. Predictability also reliably influences the amplitude of the N400 component in event-related…

De Loof, Esther; Verguts, Tom; Fias, Wim; Van Opstal, Filip – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2013
Cognitive theories on consciousness propose a strong link between consciousness and working memory (WM). This link is also present at the neural level: Both consciousness and WM have been implicated in a prefrontal parietal network. However, the link remains empirically unexplored. The present study investigates the relation between consciousness…
