Visual context influences on online language comprehension: individual and time course differences

Existing studies have shown that visual context information can rapidly influence sentence comprehension in real time. And yet, many aspects relating to the time course of its influence on comprehension are little studied. Results from a first event-related brain potential (ERPs) experiment contribute towards re-establishing picture-sentence verification - discredited possibly for its over-reliance on post- sentence response time (RT) measures - as a task for situated comprehension. Employing this paradigm, I will then report ERP results that suggest there is no one-size-fits-all of visual context effects. Rather, the time course of visual context effects differs as a function of participants' working memory resources and as a function of which aspects of a scene mismatch sentence input.
