Abstract： This paper reviews the primary findings and breakthroughs of the study on predictive sentence processing by using event-related potentials (ERPs), published in international journals. Our review begins with introducing the rationale of sentence prediction in psycholinguistics. Then, the paper surveys the milestones that revealed the associations between two major predictive processes and their ERP correlates: N400 and frontal positivity effects. A model of predictive sentence processing is concluded based on the previous study. Finally, the paper proposes the limitations of the existing studies and possible directions for further research in the future. "
