Readers make targeted regressions to plausible errors in reanalysis of "noisy-channel garden-path" sentences

ArXi:2605.18563v1 Announce Type: new A key question in psycholinguistics is how inferences about the meaning of linguistic input unfold incrementally a comprehender's mind. In this work, we study reading dynamics for ``noisy-channel garden-path'' sentences, which temporarily appear well-formed but feature late-appearing violations of expectation that can be resolved not by inferring an alternative syntactic structure, but by inferring the presence of an error.
