Readers regress to errors in complex sentences, study finds

A new paper explores how readers process complex sentences that contain plausible errors. Researchers observed that readers make specific eye movements, regressing to earlier parts of the text when later information suggests a mistake. These findings support models of language comprehension that account for noisy-channel processing and reanalysis of information. AI

IMPACT Provides insights into how language models might better understand and process complex or erroneous text.

    Readers make targeted regressions to plausible errors in reanalysis of "noisy-channel garden-path" sentences

    A key question in psycholinguistics is how inferences about the meaning of linguistic input unfold incrementally a comprehender's mind. In this work, we study reading dynamics for ``noisy-channel garden-path'' sentences, which temporarily appear well-formed but feature late-appea…
