We review the discovery, characterization, and evolving use of the N400, an event-related
brain potential response linked to meaning processing. We describe the elicitation of N400s …

Language processing is a trait of human species. The knowledge about its neurobiological
basis has been increased considerably over the past decades. Different brain regions in the …

The fully updated eighth edition of Cognitive Psychology: A Student's Handbook provides

My goal in writing this book has been to convey the principles and issues of
psycholinguistics in a straightforward and accessible manner. The field, although principally …

In speaking and comprehending language, word information is retrieved from memory and
combined into larger units (unification). Unification operations take place in parallel at the …

Models that represent meaning as high-dimensional numerical vectors—such as latent
semantic analysis (LSA), hyperspace analogue to language (HAL), bound encoding of the …

Publisher Summary In 1994, there were only two dominant noninvasive techniques to offer
insight about the functional organization of language from its brain bases: the behavior of …

The past decade has seen the rapid development of a new approach to pragmatics that
attempts to integrate insights from formal and experimental semantics and pragmatics …

Abstract Language behaviour is complex, but neuroscientific evidence disentangles it into
distinct components supported by dedicated brain areas or networks. In this Review, we …
