Children with autism spectrum disorder who demonstrate normal language scores use a bottom‐up semantic processing strategy: Evidence from N400 recordings

open access: yesBrain and Behavior, 2023
Introduction The N400 is an electrophysiological component that reflects lexical access and integration of words with mental representations. Methods Thirty‐five young children with a range of language capabilities (n = 21 neurotypical controls, 10 males,

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Change in a probabilistic representation of meaning can account for N400 effects on articles: A neural network model.

open access: yesNeuropsychologia, 2020
Increased N400 amplitudes on indefinite articles (a/an) incompatible with expected nouns have been initially taken as strong evidence for probabilistic pre-activation of phonological word forms, and recently been intensely debated because they have been ...

Age and vocabulary knowledge differentially influence the N400 and theta responses during semantic retrieval

open access: yesDevelopmental Cognitive Neuroscience, 2023
Using electroencephalography (EEG) to study the neural oscillations supporting language development is increasingly common; however, a clear understanding of the relationship between neural oscillations and traditional Event Related Potentials (ERPs) is ...

Music, Language, and The N400: ERP Interference Patterns Across Cognitive Domains

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2020
Studies of the relationship of language and music have suggested these two systems may share processing resources involved in the computation/maintenance of abstract hierarchical structure (syntax).

Age-related dissociation of N400 effect and lexical priming

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2020
The use of contextual information is an important capability to facilitate language comprehension. This can be shown by studying behavioral and neurophysiological measures of accelerated word recognition when semantically or phonemically related ...

N400 and semantic categorization in schizophrenia

open access: yesBiological Psychiatry, 1991
The N400 component of event-related potentials (ERPs) was investigated in medicated schizophrenic patients and normal controls in a semantic categorization task. The subjects' task was to indicate whether pairs of words were semantically related or unrelated.

Explaining the Sentence Superiority Effect and N400s Elicited by Words and Short Sentences with OB1-Reader

open access: yesJournal of Cognition
Research into reading has benefitted from the emergence of powerful computational models that account for reading behavior at different levels. Such models become more powerful when the underlying anatomy, architecture or ‘physiology’ can be linked to ...

A Direct Comparison of N400 Effects of Predictability and Incongruity in Adjective-Noun Combination

open access: yesCollabra, 2016
Previous work has shown that the N400 ERP component is elicited by all words, whether presented in isolation or in structured contexts, and that its amplitude is modulated by semantic association and contextual predictability.

Neural evidence for Bayesian trial-by-trial adaptation on the N400 during semantic priming.

open access: yesCognition, 2019
When semantic information is activated by a context prior to new bottom-up input (i.e. when a word is predicted), semantic processing of that incoming word is typically facilitated, attenuating the amplitude of the N400 event related potential (ERP) - a ...
