The brain basis of language processing: from structure to function

AD Friederici - Physiological reviews, 2011 - journals.physiology.org
Language processing is a trait of human species. The knowledge about its neurobiological
basis has been increased considerably over the past decades. Different brain regions in the …

Prediction during language comprehension: Benefits, costs, and ERP components

C Van Petten, BJ Luka - International journal of psychophysiology, 2012 - Elsevier
Because context has a robust influence on the processing of subsequent words, the idea
that readers and listeners predict upcoming words has attracted research attention, but …

What do we mean by prediction in language comprehension?

GR Kuperberg, TF Jaeger - Language, cognition and neuroscience, 2016 - Taylor & Francis
We consider several key aspects of prediction in language comprehension: its
computational nature, the representational level (s) at which we predict, whether we use …

[图书][B] Language in our brain: The origins of a uniquely human capacity

AD Friederici - 2017 - books.google.com
A landmark account of the neurobiological basis of language—arguing that species-specific
brain differences may be at the root of the human capacity for language. Language makes …

A neurocomputational model of the N400 and the P600 in language processing

H Brouwer, MW Crocker, NJ Venhuizen… - Cognitive …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Ten years ago, researchers using event‐related brain potentials (ERPs) to study language
comprehension were puzzled by what looked like a Semantic Illusion: Semantically …

A tale of two positivities and the N400: Distinct neural signatures are evoked by confirmed and violated predictions at different levels of representation

GR Kuperberg, T Brothers, EW Wlotko - Journal of cognitive …, 2020 - direct.mit.edu
It has been proposed that hierarchical prediction is a fundamental computational principle
underlying neurocognitive processing. Here, we ask whether the brain engages distinct …

Getting real about semantic illusions: rethinking the functional role of the P600 in language comprehension

H Brouwer, H Fitz, J Hoeks - Brain research, 2012 - Elsevier
In traditional theories of language comprehension, syntactic and semantic processing are
inextricably linked. This assumption has been challenged by the 'Semantic Illusion …

Toward a neurobiologically plausible model of language-related, negative event-related potentials

I Bornkessel-Schlesewsky, M Schlesewsky - Frontiers in psychology, 2019 - frontiersin.org
Language-related event-related potential (ERP) components such as the N400 have
traditionally been associated with linguistic or cognitive functional interpretations. By …

Rational integration of noisy evidence and prior semantic expectations in sentence interpretation

E Gibson, L Bergen… - Proceedings of the …, 2013 - National Acad Sciences
Sentence processing theories typically assume that the input to our language processing
mechanisms is an error-free sequence of words. However, this assumption is an …

[HTML][HTML] Event-related potentials index lexical retrieval (N400) and integration (P600) during language comprehension

F Delogu, H Brouwer, MW Crocker - Brain and cognition, 2019 - Elsevier
The functional interpretation of two salient language-sensitive ERP components–the N400
and the P600–remains a matter of debate. Prominent alternative accounts link the N400 to …
