A Sampler of Event-Related Brain Potential (ERP) Analyses of Language Processing

Abstract: Abstract:In large part, language comprehension and production occur quickly and unavailable to conscious reflection. Electrophysiological methods -eventrelated brain potentials (ERPs) and other measures of electrical brain activityafford a view of the brain in action as it supports these language processes as they unfold in real time. Moreover, ERPs can be utilized even when a comprehender's only task is to understand a word, phrase or sentence or to produce names or more elaborate utterances. Recording electr… Show more

“…While neurophysiological differences between bilinguals and monolinguals were observed for conflict monitoring and inhibition there were no differences on the behavioral level. One reason may be the higher sensitivity of neurophysiological and neuroimaging techniques for disentangling cognitive sub-processes while behavioral measures in many cases allow for assessing a performance that is a product of different sub-processes [105,106]. Finally, no difference between groups was observed for the marker of switching-related activity, i.e.…”

“…Individuals undertake sensory, perceptual, cognitive, motor and linguistic tasks, giving insight to cognitive processing in real time (Kutas & Federmeier, 2007). The advantages of the EEG technique are its non-invasive method, along with its superior temporal ability to track online processing at the level of milliseconds (Kutas & Delong, 2007). EEGs are temporally superior to imaging techniques, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), positron emission tomography (PET), and Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIR), which are more suited to spatially identifying active brain areas during processing (Kutas & Federmeier, 2000).…”

“…The EEG measures changes in the brain's electrical activity, as voltage differences between electrodes placed directly onto the scalp (Kutas & Delong, 2007). The voltage fluctuations, which are referred to as Event-Related Potentials (ERPs), can be time-locked to the presentation of stimuli (e.g., onset of a relative clause) (Rispens & Krikhaar, 2010) …”
