Seeking predictions from a predictive framework
T. Florian Jaeger, Victor S. Ferreira · Behavioral and Brain Sciences · 2013
We welcome the proposal to use forward models to understand predictive processes in language processing. However, Pickering & Garrod (P&G) miss the opportunity to provide a strong framework for future work. Forward models need to be pursued in the context of learning. This naturally leads to questions about what prediction error these models aim to minimize.
