Summary

Reviews the role of working memory in theories of sentence comprehension, and reviews current theoretical positions in sentence processing. The chapter also identifies several gaps in current research: the relative scarcity of computational models, an excessive focus on average behavior, the absence of properly powered studies, and unclear criteria for identifying model fit. The chapter also summarizes the goals of the book: to provide open source code for facilitating reproducible analyses, to go beyond modelling average effects, and to provide a principled workflow for model evaluation and comparison.
