Psychol Sci . 2019 Jan; 30(3):319-332. PMID: 30668928

Cognition . 2018 Jun; 179:132-149. PMID: 29936344
Much work has demonstrated that children are able to use bottom-up linguistic cues to incrementally interpret sentences, but there is little understanding of the extent to which children's comprehension mechanisms...

Front Psychol . 2018 Mar; 9:119. PMID: 29515475
