“…Young children demonstrate similar challenges revising syntactic misanalyses (Huang, Zheng, Meng, & Snedeker, 2013; Trueswell, Sekerina, Hill, & Logrip, 1999; Weighall, 2008), which may be linked to protracted cognitive control development (Mazuka, Jincho, & Oishi, 2009; Novick et al, 2005; Woodard, Pozzan, & Trueswell, 2016). And, as sketched earlier, neuroimaging findings show co-localization of activity within the LIFG when the same subjects perform a canonical cognitive control task (Stroop, Flanker) and a sentence-processing task involving syntactic conflict (January et al, 2009; van de Meerendonk et al, 2013; Ye & Zhou, 2009). These correlational findings have been bolstered by recent work demonstrating a causal connection between cognitive control procedures and language processing: extensive practice on a cognitive control tasks leads to improved garden-path recovery (Hussey et al, 2016; Novick, Hussey, Teubner-Rhodes, Harbison, & Bunting, 2014); transcranial direct current stimulation of VLPFC mitigates the effects of syntactic ambiguity during real-time processing (Hussey, Ward, Christianson, & Kramer, 2015); and dynamic cognitive control engagement immediately facilitates recovery from misinterpretation during online comprehension (Hsu & Novick, 2016).…”
