Sentence examples for contextual prediction from inspiring English sources

Other studies on contextual prediction in language have found that predictive contexts elicit stronger activations for the predicted stimuli even before the onset of the critical words.

Using a discriminative approach to contextual prediction and multi-modal integration, performance of head gesture detection was improved with context features even when the topic of the test set was significantly different than the training set.

Early contextual prediction effects 50 250 ms after the word onset were also reported by Van Berkum et al. (2005).

Therefore it is possible that contextual prediction could be relevant for speech act comprehension as well, resulting in early or even pre-stimulus differences between Naming and Requesting.

The model of personality detailed above moves away from description towards explanation and has three broad theoretical implications for health psychology: (1) contextual prediction of trait effects, (2) understanding cultural responses to disease, and (3) cost-benefit analyses of the health traits.

This anatomical overlap was notably absent for signals reporting absolute novelty or the linearly coded prediction error for novelty (the deviation of stimulus novelty from contextual predictions).

Our data confirm the hypothesis that, as for reward magnitude, the neuronal response to novelty is scaled adaptively as a function of contextual predictions.

We observed in an earlier study [Bunzeck and Duzel, 2006] that when stimuli in a given context can be treated as single, unrelated, events that do not need evaluation with respect to contextual predictions, and for which such interstimulus relationships are not goal-relevant, then veridical (absolute) coding alone dominates.

In fact, the intrinsic functional architecture of the hippocampus may be capable of generating novelty signals by comparing incoming information in hippocampal subregion CA1 against contextual predictions about likely events generated in CA3 [Hasselmo and Wyble, 1997; Lisman and Grace, 2005].

Contextual expectation or prediction of novel stimuli has been reported before as modulating the amplitude and the topography of the P3a novelty ERP component (Cycowicz and Friedman, 2007) and as playing a pivotal role in determining the magnitude of novelty-related activity in the MTL (Dudukovic and Wagner, 2007; Bunzeck et al., 2010).
