Sentence context prevails over word association in aphasia patients with spared comprehension : evidence from N400 event-related potential [PDF]
, 2017 Behavioral and event-related potential (ERP) studies on aphasia patients showed that lexical information is not lost but rather its integration into the working context is hampered.

Target Complexity Modulates Syntactic Priming During Comprehension
Frontiers in Psychology, 2020 Syntactic priming is known to facilitate comprehension of the target sentence if the syntactic structure of the target sentence aligns with the structure of the prime (Branigan et al., 2005; Tooley and Traxler, 2010).

Differences in hearing acuity among “normal-hearing” young adults modulate the neural basis for speech comprehension [PDF]
, 2018 In this paper, we investigate how subtle differences in hearing acuity affect the neural systems supporting speech processing in young adults. Auditory sentence comprehension requires perceiving a complex acoustic signal and performing linguistic ...

Retrieval interference in sentence comprehension [PDF]
Journal of Memory and Language, 2006 The role of interference effects in sentence processing has recently begun to receive attention, however whether these effects arise during encoding or retrieval remains unclear. This paper draws on basic memory research to help distinguish these explanations and reports data from an experiment that manipulates the possibility for retrieval ...

Structural priming in sentence comprehension: A single prime is enough. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Experiencing a syntactic structure affects how we process subsequent instances of that structure. This phenomenon, called structural priming, is observed both in language production and in language comprehension.

Semantic focus and sentence comprehension [PDF]
Cognition, 1979 Reaction time to detect a phoneme target in a sentence was found to be faster when the word in which the target occurred formed part of the semantic focus of the sentence. Focus was determined by asking a question before the sentence; that part of the sentence which comprised the answer to the sentence was assumed to be focussed. This procedure made it
