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 ...

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 ...

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.

Unveiling the need of interactions for social N400s and supporting the N400 inhibition hypothesis
Scientific Reports, 2023 AbstractWhen participants (Pps) are presented with stimuli in the presence of another person, they may consider that person’s perspective. Indeed, five recent ERP studies show that the amplitudes of their N400s are increased. The two most recent ones reveal that these social-N400 increases occur even when instructions do not require a focus on the ...

literal and figurative language processing: an event-related potential (ERP) study [PDF]
زبان پژوهی, 2020 There are three primary models to deal with literal/non-literal language processing. The first is the indirect access model proposed by Grice (1975) and Searle (1979).

Processing of Person and Number features in Turkish: An Event Related Potentials Study
Dilbilim Araştırmaları Dergisi, 2021 Agreement is one of the most important as well as the most studied linguistic features in the field of language processing. There are two views regarding the processing of Person and Number features.

Language Dominance Modulates Transposed-Letter N400 Priming Effects in Bilinguals
Journal of Cognition, 2022 Models of visual word recognition differ as to how print exposure modulates orthographic precision. In some models, precision is the optimal end state of a lexical representation; the associations between letters and positions are initially approximate ...

A Theoretical Framework for a Hybrid View of the N400 [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 In this study, we present a novel theoretical account of the N400 event-related potential (ERP) component. Hybrid views interpret this ERP component in terms of two cognitive operations: (i) access of information, which is related to predictions (predictability component), and (ii) integration of information, which is related to plausibility ...

How the Brain Understands Spoken and Sung Sentences
Brain Sciences, 2020 The present study investigates whether meaning is similarly extracted from spoken and sung sentences. For this purpose, subjects listened to semantically correct and incorrect sentences while performing a correctness judgement task.

N400-like potentials and reaction times index semantic relations between highly repeated individual words [PDF]
, 2009 The N400 ERP is an electrophysiological index of semantic processing. Its amplitude varies with the semantic category of words, their concreteness, or whether their meaning matches that of a preceding context.
