Researchers have explored how Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT-2 can model human sentence comprehension by examining the impact of context window size and coreference. Their findings indicate a U-shaped relationship, where both restricted contexts simulating working memory and expanded contexts up to 1,000 tokens show high psycholinguistic fit. Disrupting long-range coreference relations by pronominalizing entities significantly degraded the predictive power of larger context windows, suggesting that tracking these relations is crucial for aligning LM surprisal with human reading behavior.
