Words in the brain: lexical determinants of word-induced brain activity

L Osterhout, M Allen, J McLaughlin - Journal of Neurolinguistics, 2002 - Elsevier
Many studies have shown that open-and closed-class words elicit different patterns of brain
activity, as manifested in the scalp-recorded event-related potential (ERP). One hypothesis …

Brain potentials elicited by words: word length and frequency predict the latency of an early negativity

L Osterhout, M Bersick, R McKinnon - Biological Psychology, 1997 - Elsevier
Prior work has suggested that open-and closed-class words elicit negative components in
the event-related potential (ERP) that differ in timing and scalp distribution. We tested this …

Words and sentences: Event‐related brain potential measures

C Van Petten - Psychophysiology, 1995 - Wiley Online Library
Interactions between sentences and the individual words that comprise them are reviewed
in studies using the event‐related brain potential (ERP). Results suggest that, for ambiguous …

Dissociation of brain activity related to syntactic and semantic aspects of language

TF Münte, HJ Heinze, GR Mangun - Journal of cognitive neuroscience, 1993 - direct.mit.edu
In psycholinguistic research, there has been considerable interest in understanding the
interactions of difFerent types of linguistic information during language processing. For …

Interactions between sentence context and word frequencyinevent-related brainpotentials

C Van Petten, M Kutas - Memory & cognition, 1990 - Springer
Event-related brain potentials (ERPs) were recorded as subjects silently read a set of
unrelated sentences. The ERP responses elicited by open-class words were sorted …

[PDF][PDF] Words in context: ERPs and the lexical/postlexical distinction

S Coulson, KD Federmeier - Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2002 - cogsci.ucsd.edu
Classic models of language comprehension posit a distinction between lexical processing,
thought to be early, fast-acting, and automatic, and post-lexical processing, thought to be …

Event-related brain potentials to semantically inappropriate and surprisingly large words

M Kutas, SA Hillyard - Biological psychology, 1980 - Elsevier
Event-related brain potentials (ERPs) were recorded from young adult subjects as they
silently read 160 different seven-word sentences, presented one word at a time. The …

Semantic or lexico-syntactic factors: what determines word-class specific activity in the human brain?

F Pulvermüller, B Mohr, H Schleichert - Neuroscience Letters, 1999 - Elsevier
Words from different classes have been found to activate different brain areas. However, it is
unclear whether grammatical word properties, for example their being part of different lexical …

In the company of other words: Electrophysiological evidence for single-word and sentence context effects

M Kutas - Language and cognitive processes, 1993 - Taylor & Francis
The qualitative and quantitative similarities between lexical and sentence-level context
effects were assessed by means of scalp-recorded electrophysiological measures. Event …

Reading between the lines: Event-related brain potentials during natural sentence processing

M Kutas, SA Hillyard - Brain and language, 1980 - Elsevier
Event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded from subjects as they silently read 160
different seven-word sentences, presented one word at a time. Each sentence was in itself a …
