Abstract: The visual world paradigm (VWP) assesses real-time language processing by tracking and measuring eye movements in visual contexts. Linking hypotheses, such as the coordinated interplay account and the goal-based linking hypothesis, establish the link between eye movements and the cognitive processes of language comprehension. Time sensitivity is characteristic of the data generated by this paradigm. Analytical methods include the analysis of fixation proportions within time windows, divergence point analysis and growth-curve analysis, etc. Studies using the VWP provide important evidence for speech and lexical recognition, syntactic parsing, semantic integration, and the processing of discourse and pragmatic information.

Abstract: Objective: To establish a multi-dimensional and standardized lexical database of COVID-19-related terms and words. The database may have facilitated COVID-19-related research in domains such as Psychology, Psychiatry, Neuroscience, etc. Methods: This database referred to the established methods of the emotional lexical database at home and abroad, and used the dot-detection task and words in the database as experimental materials to test the attention bias of the subjects suspected of having COVID-19 phobia, so as to test the validity of the database. Results: 196 COVID-19-related words and 99 neutral words were included in the word database. Then, we classified and evaluated the words through six dimensions, and established a standardized database of Chinese COVID-19-related terms. The words have good reliability and internal consistency. In addition, the validity was tested through the dot-detection task. Subjects with COVID-19 fear and those without COVID-19 fear showed a significant attentional bias toward COVID-19-related words Limitations: The initial sample size is small and the database application needs further development. Conclusions: The database of Chinese COVID-19 terms has good reliability, internal consistency, and reliability, and can be used as materials related to COVID-19-related research in the future.

Abstract: This paper reviews the primary findings and breakthroughs of the study on predictive sentence processing by using event-related potentials (ERPs), published in international journals. Our review begins with introducing the rationale of sentence prediction in psycholinguistics. Then, the paper surveys the milestones that revealed the associations between two major predictive processes and their ERP correlates: N400 and frontal positivity effects. A model of predictive sentence processing is concluded based on the previous study. Finally, the paper proposes the limitations of the existing studies and possible directions for further research in the future. "
