Previous research on open-and closed-class words has revealed the existence of several
differences in the processing of these types of vocabulary. In this paper the processing of …

Closed class (determiners, pronouns, conjunctions, prepositions etc.) and open class
(nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs) words have different linguistic functions and have been …

Previous studies have repeatedly found that late (300–800 ms) components of event-related
potentials (ERP) reflected semantic analysis, ie the differentiation between abstract and …

Most studies of semantic processing address changes in the late (300–800 msec)
components of evoked potentials. However, recent years have seen the appearance of data …

In the present study, event related brain potentials (ERPs) showed that, in an implicit Lexical
decision task in which participants had to decide whether a word or a pseudoword was …

The aim of the present study was to examine the time course and scalp distribution of
electrophysiological manifestations of the visual word recognition mechanism. Event-related …

Abstract n This paper presents evidence of the disputed existence of an electrophysiological
marker for the lexical-categorical distinction between open-and closed-class words. Event …

Event-related brain potentials (ERPs) to words, pseudowords, and nonwords were recorded
in three different tasks. A letter search task was used in Experiment 1. Performance was …

Objective: The recognition potential (RP) is an electrophysiological brain response which is
sensitive to the semantic processing of meaningful stimuli. In this study we attempt to …

Event-related potentials (ERPs) provide information about the temporal course of cognitive
processes in the brain. They have proved to be a valuable tool in order to explore semantic …
