Comprehending surprising sentences: sensitivity of post-N400 positivities to contextual congruity and semantic relatedness

open access: yesLanguage, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2020
Any proposal for predictive language comprehension must address receipt of less expected information. While a relationship between the N400 and sentence predictability is well established, a clear picture is still emerging of the link between post-N400 ...

Bilateral activation of semantic information on left-handers

open access: yesJournal of Human Environmental Studies, 2011
To investigate interhemispheric transfer of language information in left-handed participants, event-related potentials were recorded during a semantic matching task.

The interplay between domain-general and domain-specific mechanisms during the time-course of verbal associative learning: An event-related potential study

open access: yesNeuroImage, 2021
Humans continuously learn new information. Here, we examined the temporal brain dynamics of explicit verbal associative learning between unfamiliar items.

N400 and short speech stimuli

open access: yesClinical 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.

Event-related potentials index lexical retrieval (N400) and integration (P600) during language comprehension.

open access: yesBrain and Cognition, 2019
The functional interpretation of two salient language-sensitive ERP components - the N400 and the P600 - remains a matter of debate. Prominent alternative accounts link the N400 to processes related to lexical retrieval, semantic integration, or both ...

Effects of Dispositional Affect on the N400: Language Processing and Socially Situated Context

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2021
We examined whether the N400 Event-Related Potential (ERP) component would be modulated by dispositional affect during sentence processing. In this study, 33 participants read sentences manipulated by direct object type (congruent vs.

Modelling the N400 brain potential as change in a probabilistic representation of meaning

open access: yesNature Human Behaviour, 2018
The N400 component of the event-related brain potential has aroused much interest because it is thought to provide an online measure of meaning processing in the brain. However, the underlying process remains incompletely understood and actively debated.

Semantics and N400: insights for schizophrenia

open access: yesJournal of Psychiatry and Neuroscience, 2004
Thought disorder is a hallmark symptom of schizophrenia, which often leads to deficits in social functioning. Some aspects of this cognitive dysfunction are the result of abnormal characteristics in the semantic processes of patients. These abnormalities exist not only at the discourse production level, but at the discourse comprehension level as well.

A Tale of Two Positivities (and the N400): Distinct neural signatures are evoked by confirmed and violated predictions at different levels of representation

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2018
Hierarchical prediction has been proposed as a fundamental computational principle underlying neurocognitive processing. Here we ask whether the brain engages distinct neurocognitive mechanisms in response to inputs that fulfill versus violate strong ...

Semantic Processing in Healthy Aging and Alzheimer’s Disease: A Systematic Review of the N400 Differences

open access: yesBrain Science, 2020
Semantic deficits are common in individuals with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). These deficits notably impact the ability to understand words. In healthy aging, semantic knowledge increases but semantic processing (i.e., the ability to use this knowledge) may
