In the previous 15 years, a variety of experimental paradigms and methods have been
employed to study inhibition. In the current review, we analyze studies that have used the …

In this article, we discuss the relevance of electrophysiological data to the enterprise of
analyzing and understanding the reading process. Specifically, we detail how the event …

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 N400 component of the event-related brain potential has aroused much interest
because it is thought to provide an online measure of meaning processing in the brain …

Relative to abstract words, concrete words typically elicit faster response times and larger
N400 and N700 event-related potential (ERP) brain responses. These effects have been …

Understanding the processes that permit us to extract meaning from spoken or written
linguistic input requires elucidating how, when, and where in the brain sentences and …

Background: Frequency of occurrence is a strong predictor of lexical processing across
modalities and experimental paradigms. However, frequency is part of a large set of …

To investigate whether second language processing is characterized by the same sensitivity
to the emotional content of language–as compared to native language processing–we …

In this article we review several studies investigating the neural correlates of second‐
language (L2) grammatical learning in the context of novice adult learners progressing …

The N400 ERP component is widely used in research on language and semantic memory.
Although the component's relation to semantic processing is well-established, the …
