“…The modulations at 120-140 ms and 220-240 ms (at least) could mirror the modulation of the rapid, evoked activation of anterior temporal by visual cortex seen in the present study. Later modulations of ERP responses by AoA (from ~ 300 ms to 800 ms and beyond) were observed by Cuetos et al (2009) andTainturier et al (2005) during silent reading and auditory lexical decision respectively. These late modulations may be linked to delayed modulation of sensory activity generated by top-down effects.…”

“…We note in this context that Johnston and Barry (2005) found AoA effects on reaction times (RTs) in a behavioral task that required adult participants to decide whether pictured objects were typically found inside or outside the house. The relations between objects and their names are, of course, arbitrary (Monaghan et al, 2011), so large AoA effects would be expected in naming tasks (Alario et al, 2005;Cuetos et al, 2009;Ellis and Morrison, 1998). Woollams (2012) found that object naming by semantic dementia patients with anterior temporal damage was influenced by both AoA and the typicality or distinctiveness of depicted objects.…”

Previous research using fMRI . Traces of vocabulary acquisition in the brain: evidence from covert object naming. NeuroImage 33,[958][959][960][961][962][963][964][965][966][967][968] found that AoA modulated the strength of BOLD responses in both occipital and left anterior temporal cortex during object naming. We used magnetoencephalography (MEG) to explore in more detail the nature of the influence of AoA on activity in those two regions. Covert object naming recruited a network within the left hemisphere that is familiar from previous research, including visual, left occipito-temporal, anterior temporal and inferior frontal regions. Region of interest (ROI) analyses found that occipital cortex generated a rapid evoked response (~ 75-200 ms at 0-40 Hz) that peaked at 95 ms but was not modulated by AoA. That response was followed by a complex of later occipital responses that extended from ~ 300 to 850 ms and were stronger to early-than late-acquired items from ~ 325 to 675 ms at 10-20 Hz in the induced rather than the evoked component. Left anterior temporal cortex showed an evoked response that occurred significantly later than the first occipital response (~ 100-400 ms at 0-10 Hz with a peak at 191 ms) and was stronger to early-than late-acquired items from ~ 100 to 300 ms at 2-12 Hz. A later anterior temporal response from ~ 550 to 1050 ms at 5-20 Hz was not modulated by AoA. The results indicate that the initial analysis of object forms in visual cortex is not influenced by AoA. A fastforward sweep of activation from occipital and left anterior temporal cortex t...

Comparing Electrophysiological Correlates of Word Production in Immediate and Delayed Naming Through the Analysis of Word Age of Acquisition Effects

Most EEG studies analysing speech production with event related brain potential (ERP) have adopted silent metalinguistic tasks or delayed or tacit picture naming in order to avoid possible artefacts during motor preparation. A central issue in the interpretation of these results is whether the processes involved in those tasks are comparable to those involved in overt speech production. In the present study we addressed a methodological issue about the integration of stimulus-aligned and response-aligned ERPs in immediate overt picture naming in comparison to delayed production, coupled with a theoretical point on the effect of word Age of Acquisition (AoA). High density EEG recordings were used and waveform analyses and spatio-temporal segmentation were combined on stimulus-aligned and response-aligned ERPs. The same sequence and duration of topographic maps appeared in the immediate and delayed production until around 350 ms after picture onset, revealing similar encoding processes until the beginning of phonological encoding, but modulations linked to word AoA were only observed in the immediate production. Considering stimulus-aligned and responsealigned ERPs together allowed to identify that a stable topography starting around 350 ms lasts 30 ms longer for late-acquired than for early-acquired words. This difference falls within the time-window of phonological encoding and its modulation can be linked to the longer production latencies for late-acquired words.3

“…Bonin studied the influence of nine variables on naming latency and concluded that the main determiners of the latency of picture naming were the variety of pictures and AoA (21). In a study by Cuetos it was observed that the late-acquired words produce more negative amplitude than the early-acquired ones, as late as 400 to 610 ms after stimulus onset (22).…”

“…According to the investigations, only three studies have explored AoA effects with ERPs, one with a lexical decision task (23), the other with a word reading task (22) and the last with overt naming task (laganaro 2011) (1). Cuetos suggested the phonological-lexical locus for the effect of AoA, but the results of his study were not comparable with those of the present study because of the difference in task type.…”

Background: Naming is a simple and basic skill of the language which involves semantic, lexical, and phonological levels. There are many different factors affecting the speed and convenience of naming. One of these factors is the word Age of Acquisition (AoA) and since language processing occurs at an extremely fast rate, psycholinguistics needs a method that has very good temporal resolution. The Eventrelated Brain Potentials (ERP) method is almost ideal among the imaging techniques of studying a language. Objectives: The current study aimed to investigate the electroencephalograph signals related to the time period of phonological encoding during immediate picture naming through the analysis of AoA effect. Patients and Methods:In this cross-sectional study 15 male, native Farsi speakers, aged 18 -25 years participated. The test involved naming 80 pictures including 40 early-acquired words and 40 late-acquired words, presented by a monitor screen. EEG (electroencephalogram) was recorded continuously from 64 electrodes mounted on an electrode cap. The waves related to early and late-acquired groups were investigated in terms of amplitude, latency, and scalp distribution within a 300 millisecond time range linked to phonological encoding process. Results:The results showed that the pictures of the early-acquired words were named 40 millisecond faster than those of late-acquired words (P = 0.022). The difference between the two groups was significant on the latency and scalp distribution, but not significant on amplitude. Conclusions: According to the results of the study, AoA modulated response latencies (early acquired words were produced faster than late-acquired ones), indicating increased processing time-cost for late acquired words, which happens during the phonological encoding period (phonological code retrieval and syllabification). Furthermore, the results seem to support a phonological encoding locus for the main AoA effects.
