The role of literal meaning in figurative language comprehension: Evidence from masked priming ERP

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014
The role of literal meaning during the construction of meaning that goes beyond pure literal composition was investigated by combining cross-modal masked priming and ERPs.

Scope as a Source for Non‐Incremental Effects?

Language and Linguistics Compass, Volume 20, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Incrementality is one of the hallmarks of realtime language comprehension. It contrasts sharply with another feature of language comprehension, the high degree of context dependence exhibited by many expressions calling for global adaptations to the larger discourse context.

Word Wars: The Role of Form and Semantic Encoding in Implicit and Explicit Recognition of Nouns and Verbs

Psychology of Language and Communication
Encoding word form and semantic information is critical for integrating new words into the lexicon. Factors like encoding context and word class impact memory traces and, thus, recognition of new words.

The N400 effect captures nuances in implicit political preferences

Scientific Reports
We conducted a study in San Antonio, Texas, in the weeks preceding the 2022 state Governor election to determine if implicit or explicit measures of political preference could predict voter behavior. We adapted an established event-related potential (ERP)

Effects of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Treatment on Event-Related Potentials in Schizophrenia

Chinese Medical Journal, 2018
Background: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and event-related potentials (ERPs) are a noninvasive technique that widely used in neurophysiological field. Although rTMS has shown clinical utility for a number of neurological conditions,

Speed-Accuracy Tradeoffs in Brain and Behavior: Testing the Independence of P300 and N400 Related Processes in Behavioral Responses to Sentence Categorization

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2019
Although the N400 was originally discovered in a paradigm designed to elicit a P300 (Kutas and Hillyard, 1980), its relationship with the P300 and how both overlapping event-related potentials (ERPs) determine behavioral profiles is still elusive.

Conventionality matters in Chinese metaphor but not simile comprehension: evidence from event-related potentials

Frontiers in Psychology
Metaphor and simile, two prevalent forms of figurative language widely employed in daily communication, serve as significant research subjects in linguistics. The Career of Metaphor Theory in cognitive linguistics posits that as conventionality increases,

In what context does context matter?: an ERP study of sentence processing in brazilian portuguese = Em que contexto o contexto importa?: um estudo de ERP com sentenças em português brasileiro

Letras de Hoje, 2015
O componente N400 é o ERP mais famoso em estudos eletrofisiológicos da lilnguagem. O N400 tem amplitude negativa aproximadamente aos 400ms após estímulação.

Effects of Risperidone and Paliperidone on Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor and N400 in First-Episode Schizophrenia

Chinese Medical Journal, 2018
Background: Risperidone and paliperidone have been the mainstay treatment for schizophrenia and their potential role in neuroprotection could be associated with brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and N400 (an event-related brain potential component)

Performing a task with a friend does not change semantic processes but preparation: a social N400 and CNV event-related potential study

Frontiers in Psychology
The N400 event-related potential (ERP) indexes the semantic processing of words. Recently, social N400 effects were reported: N400 amplitudes were found to be larger in the presence of a confederate.
