Attention or prediction? Characterizing the top-down influence of predictive context on speech encoding
Theories of predictive coding propose that perception is the process of inferring the causes of our sensory input by comparing that input with predictions derived from our internal models of the world. Such predictive processes are thought to play a central role in language comprehension, however, robust neurophysiological evidence for such processes, particularly during natural speech…
