Current theories of language comprehension posit that readers and listeners routinely try to
predict the meaning but also the visual or sound form of upcoming words. Whereas most …

Sensory substitution devices aim at replacing or assisting one or several functions of a
deficient sensory modality by means of another sensory modality. Despite the numerous …

Visual word identification requires readers to code the identity and order of the letters in a
word and match this code against previously learned codes. Current models of this lexical …

This article examines the extent to which lexical bundles (LBs; ie, frequently recurring strings
of words that often span traditional syntactic boundaries) are stored and processed …

Abstract The French Lexicon Project involved the collection of lexical decision data for
38,840 French words and the same number of nonwords. It was directly inspired by the …

The emotional content of stimuli influences cognitive performance. In two experiments, we
investigated the time course and mechanisms of emotional influences on visual word …

Two related questions critical to understanding the predictive processes that come online
during sentence comprehension are (1) what information is included in the representation …

Emotional meaning impacts word processing. However, it is unclear, at which functional
locus this influence occurs and whether and how it depends on word class. These questions …

The N400 event-related component has been widely used to investigate the neural
mechanisms underlying real-time language comprehension. However, despite decades of …

The functional locus of emotional valence in word processing remains an open question. In
event-related potentials, emotion has been found to elicit an early posterior negativity (EPN) …
