The N400 effect during speaker-switch – Towards a conversational approach of measuring neural correlates of language

Frontiers in Psychology, 2016
Language occurs naturally in conversations. However, the study of the neural underpinnings of language has mainly taken place in single individuals using controlled language material.

The N400 and the fourth grade shift [PDF]

Developmental Science, 2014
AbstractWhile behavioral and educational data characterize a fourth grade shift in reading development, neuroscience evidence is relatively lacking. We used the N400 component of the event‐related potential waveform to investigate the development of single word processing across the upper elementary years, in comparison to adult readers.

Acoustic Features of Emotional Vocalizations Account for Early Modulations of Event‐Related Brain Potentials

Psychophysiology, Volume 63, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Emotion is key to human communication, and inferring emotion in a speaker's voice is a cross‐cultural and cross‐linguistic capability. Electroencephalography (EEG) studies of neural mechanisms supporting emotion perception have reported that early components of the event‐related potential (ERP) are modulated by emotion.

Aging-Related Dissociation of Spatial and Temporal N400 in Sentence-Level Semantic Processing: Evidence From Source Analyses

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2022
Age-related differences in sentence-level lexical-semantic processes have been extensively studied, based on the N400 component of event-related potential (ERP).

A Neurocomputational Model of the N400 and the P600 in Language Processing

Cognitive Sciences, 2016
Ten years ago, researchers using event‐related brain potentials (ERPs) to study language comprehension were puzzled by what looked like a Semantic Illusion: Semantically anomalous, but structurally well‐formed sentences did not affect the N400 component ...

Working memory is partially preserved during sleep. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Although several cognitive processes, including speech processing, have been studied during sleep, working memory (WM) has never been explored up to now.

The Shallow Structure Hypothesis and Sentence Processing in a Second Language

Language and Linguistics Compass, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT The Shallow Structure Hypothesis (SSH) has been highly influential in the study of adult second language (L2) acquisition. With respect to L2 sentence processing, the essential claim is that L2 speakers rely less on syntactic information and more on alternative sources of information (e.g., lexical semantics and discourse) than adult first ...

Distinguishing integration and prediction accounts of ERP N400 modulations in language processing through experimental design.

Neuropsychologia, 2019
Many theoretical accounts of prediction in language processing are based to a substantial amount on experimental evidence from electrophysiological studies measuring N400 target word modulations.

Orthographic and Phonological Code Activation in Deaf and Hearing Readers

Journal of Cognition
Grainger et al. (2006) were the first to use ERP masked priming to explore the differing contributions of phonological and orthographic representations to visual word processing.

The reliability of the N400 in single subjects: Implications for patients with disorders of consciousness

NeuroImage: Clinical, 2014
Functional neuroimaging assessments of residual cognitive capacities, including those that support language, can improve diagnostic and prognostic accuracy in patients with disorders of consciousness.
