Predicting substitutions: Our results reveal distinct effects of forward prediction and backward planning on word choice: substitutions are characterized by high forward predicability but appear sub-optimal from the perspective of facilitating production of future context (7/9)

Still here? 👀 Okay, deeper dive: We benchmark our PMI-based measure against (decorrelated) backward predictability on (i) probabilistic reduction & (ii) within a generative paradigm that predicts substitution errors in naturalistic productions (3/9)

How do future plans affect word form & word choice in online production? With @futrell.bsky.social in #Cogsci25, we examine the backward predictability effect & introduce a principled variant of backward planning that preserves info proc dependencies b/w words in the past and future context (1/9)
