Direct linkChristiansen, Morten H.; Conway, Christopher M.; Onnis, Luca – Language and Cognitive Processes, 2012
We used event-related potentials (ERPs) to investigate the time course and distribution of brain activity while adults performed (1) a sequential learning task involving complex structured sequences and (2) a language processing task. The same positive ERP deflection, the P600 effect, typically linked to difficult or ungrammatical syntactic…

Laszlo, Sarah; Stites, Mallory; Federmeier, Kara D. – Language and Cognitive Processes, 2012
A growing body of evidence suggests that semantic access is obligatory. Several studies have demonstrated that brain activity associated with semantic processing, measured in the N400 component of the event-related brain potential (ERP), is elicited even by meaningless, orthographically illegal strings, suggesting that semantic access is not gated…

Hervais-Adelman, Alexis G.; Carlyon, Robert P.; Johnsrude, Ingrid S.; Davis, Matthew H. – Language and Cognitive Processes, 2012
We used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate the neural basis of comprehension and perceptual learning of artificially degraded [noise vocoded (NV)] speech. Fifteen participants were scanned while listening to 6-channel vocoded words, which are difficult for naive listeners to comprehend, but can be readily learned with…

Hanulova, Jana; Davidson, Douglas J.; Indefrey, Peter – Language and Cognitive Processes, 2011
Bilinguals are slower when naming a picture in their second language than when naming it in their first language. Although the phenomenon has been frequently replicated, it is not known what causes the delay in the second language. In this article we discuss at what processing stages a delay might arise according to current models of bilingual…

Pylkkanen, Liina; Oliveri, Bridget; Smart, Andrew J. – Language and Cognitive Processes, 2009
Humans have knowledge about the properties of their native language at various levels of representation; sound, structure, and meaning computation constitute the core components of any linguistic theory. Although the brain sciences have engaged with representational theories of sound and syntactic structure, the study of the neural bases of…

Davidson, Douglas J.; Indefrey, Peter – Language and Cognitive Processes, 2009
Previous studies have examined cross-serial and embedded complement clauses in West Germanic in order to distinguish between different types of working memory models of human sentence processing, as well as different formal language models. Here, adult plasticity in the use of these constructions is investigated by examining the response of…
