INSUFFICIENT LEANING

Is it true that people often fail to notice missing or repeated words in their own writing because the brain fills in expected text during reading?
Unclear. The retrieved items only partially support the claim: one study questions whether people detect incoherence in conversation, and another shows people often miss unexpected objects during attention-demanding tasks. Neither directly addresses the brain filling in expected text while reading one's own writing.
