The anatomy of language has been investigated with PET or fMRI for more than 20years.
Here I attempt to provide an overview of the brain areas associated with heard speech …

Measuring event-related potentials (ERPs) has been fundamental to our understanding of
how language is encoded in the brain. One particular ERP response, the N400 response …

Much research in cognitive neuroscience supports prediction as a canonical computation of
cognition across domains. Is such predictive coding implemented by feedback from higher …

Explicit Learning in the L2 Classroom offers a unique five-prong (theoretical, empirical,
methodological, pedagogical, and model building) approach to the issue of explicit learning …

The structure of the brain and the nature of evolution suggest that, despite its uniqueness,
language likely depends on brain systems that also subserve other functions. The …

What are the psychological, computational and neural underpinnings of language? Are
these neurocognitive correlates dedicated to language? Do different parts of language …

Theoretical and empirical aspects of the neural bases of the mental lexicon and the mental
grammar in first and second language (L1 and L2) are discussed. It is argued that in L1, the …

In 1980, the N400 event-related potential was described in association with semantic
anomalies within sentences. When, in 1992, a second waveform, the P600, was reported in …

An event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) paradigm was used to
specify those brain areas supporting the processing of sentence-level semantic and …

A central function of memory is to permit an organism to distinguish between stimuli that
have been previously encountered and those that are novel. Although the medial temporal …
