Semantic surprise predicts the N400 brain potential

NeuroImage: Reports, 2023
Language is central to human life; however, how our brains derive meaning from language is still not well understood. A commonly studied electrophysiological measure of on-line meaning related processing is the N400 component, the computational basis of ...

Electrocortical N400 Effects of Semantic Satiation [PDF]

Frontiers in Psychology, 2017
Semantic satiation is characterised by the subjective and temporary loss of meaning after high repetition of a prime word. To study the nature of this effect, previous electroencephalography (EEG) research recorded the N400, an ERP component that is ...

A predictive coding model of the N400 [PDF]

Cognition, 2023
Abstract The N400 event-related component has been widely used to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying real-time language comprehension. However, despite decades of research, there is still no unifying theory that can explain both its temporal dynamics and functional properties.

Development of the N400 in infancy

Brain and Language
In this longitudinal EEG study, we examined the developmental trajectory of the N400 component using a word-picture mismatch-paradigm in 18 infants at 10 and 12 months of age. Event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded and analyzed in three consecutive time windows (400-600 ms, 600-800 ms, 800-1000 ms post-stimulus). At 10 months, a significant N400-

The N400 as an index of racial stereotype accessibility [PDF]

Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience, 2013
The current research examined the viability of the N400, an event-related potential (ERP) related to the detection of semantic incongruity, as an index of both stereotype accessibility and interracial prejudice. Participants' EEG was recorded while they completed a sequential priming task, in which negative or positive, stereotypically black (African ...

Schizotypal traits and N400 in healthy subjects. [PDF]

Psychophysiology, 2010
We examined whether correlations previously found between symptoms of schizophrenia patients and the amplitude of an event-related potential (ERP), the N400, could be also found between schizotypal experiences of healthy subjects and the N400. We chose a semantic categorization task previously used with patients.

N400 and short speech stimuli

Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2019
In some children who have cochlear implants (CI), the expected speech-language outcome is not achieved despite fulfilment of requirements for its successful use. This may be attributed to processing difficulties at higher levels of the auditory pathway.

The N400 and the P300 are not all that independent

Psychophysiology, 2010
AbstractThis study assessed whether two ERP components that are elicited by unexpected events interact. The conditions that are known to elicit the N400 and the P300 ERP components were applied separately and in combination to terminal‐words in sentences.

N400 ERPs for actions: building meaning in context [PDF]

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2013
Converging neuroscientific evidence suggests the existence of close links between language and sensorimotor cognition. Accordingly, during the comprehension of meaningful actions, our brain would recruit semantic-related operations similar to those associated with the processing of language information.

Event-Related Potential Components and the Lexical Decision Task in Greek-Speaking Children With and Without Reading Difficulties. [PDF]

Dyslexia
ABSTRACT The present study examined neurocognitive differences in visual word processing between children with reading difficulties (RD) and chronological‐age‐matched controls (CA) using event‐related potentials (ERPs) during a lexical decision task. Participants were Grade 3 and Grade 6 children (ages 7.6–12.1 years) who were required to discriminate ...
