“…Specifically, monolinguals exhibited less negativity in the N400 for the semantically-related condition than in the unrelated condition while bilinguals did not. Attenuation of the N400 in response to a semantic relationship is consistent with results of monolingual studies using pictures (e.g., Chauncey, Holcomb, & Grainger, 2009; McPherson & Holcomb, 1999; Zani et al, 2015), but few studies have shown N400 attenuation coupled with longer RTs. Blackford et al (2012) suggested that the N400 indexes how the semantic relationship is perceived and integrated (i.e., automatic electrophysiological semantic priming) but does not directly reflect the factors involved in later response selection.…”

“…This component is sensitive to semantic and lexical mismatches between the stimulus and expectations such that mismatches are associated with larger negative amplitudes than matches (Kutas & Federmeier, 2011). In paradigms in which two semantically related pictures are presented either sequentially (Holcomb & McPherson, 1994; McPherson & Holcomb, 1999) or simultaneously (Zani et al, 2015), relatedness has resulted in less N400 negativity than found on unrelated pairs. This attenuation of the N400 for related primes has been interpreted as semantic integration (Holcomb & McPherson, 1994; Kutas & Federmeier, 2011).…”

Lexical selection differences between monolingual and bilingual listeners

Three studies are reported investigating how monolinguals and bilinguals resolve within-language competition when listening to isolated words. Participants saw two pictures that were semantically-related, phonologically-related, or unrelated and heard a word naming one of them while event-related potentials were recorded. In Studies 1 and 2, the pictures and auditory cue were presented simultaneously and the related conditions produced interference for both groups. Monolinguals showed reduced N400s to the semantically-related pairs but there was no modulation in this component by bilinguals. Study 3 inserted an interval between picture and word onset. For picture onset, both groups exhibited reduced N400s to semantically-related pictures; for word onset, both groups showed larger N400s to phonologically-related pictures. Overall, bilinguals showed less integration of related items in simultaneous (but not sequential) presentation, presumably because of interference from the activated non-English language. Thus, simple lexical selection for bilinguals includes more conflict than it does for monolinguals.

“…Furthermore, in this range the eventrelated activity is influenced by factors other than the physical characteristics of the visual events and spatial attention effects. These factors involve the intention to discriminate (e.g., Hopf, Vogel, Woodman, Heinze, & Luck, 2002) and other task-related effects (Zani et al, 2015). Such studies have demonstrated the effects of different forms of attention-in other words, top-down influences.…”

In this study we compared the event-related potentials (ERPs) obtained in two different paradigms: a passive visual oddball paradigm and an adaptation paradigm. The aim of the study was to investigate the relation between the effects of activity decrease following an adaptor (stimulus-specific adaptation) and the effects of an infrequent stimulus within sequences of frequent ones. In Experiment 1, participants were presented with different line textures. The frequent (standard) and rare (deviant) texture elements differed in their orientation. In Experiment 2, windmill pattern stimuli were presented in which the number of vanes differentiated the deviant and standard stimuli. In Experiment 1 the ERP differences elicited between the oddball deviant and the standard were similar to the differences between the ERPs to the nonadapted and adapted stimuli in the adaptation paradigm. In both paradigms the differences appeared as a posterior negativity with the latency of 120-140 ms. This finding demonstrates that the representation of a sequential rule (successive presentation of the standard) and the violation of this rule are not necessary for deviancy effects to emerge. In Experiment 2 (windmill pattern), in the oddball paradigm the difference potentials appeared as a long-lasting negativity. In the adaptation condition, the later part of this negativity (after 200 ms) was absent. We identified the later part of the oddball difference potential as the genuine visual mismatch negativity-that is, an ERP correlate of sequence violations. The latencies of the difference potentials (deviant minus standard) and the endogenous components (P1 and N1) diverged; therefore, the adaptation of these particular ERP components cannot explain the deviancy effect. Accordingly, the sources contributing to the standard-versus-deviant modulations differed from those related to visual adaptation; that is, they generated distinct ERP components.

“…How people perceive, judge, and interact with others is strongly influenced by what they know about them. Even abstract and verbally transmitted information concerning good or bad social behavior can affect how they judge others (Bliss-Moreau, Barrett, & Wright, 2008;Goodwin, Piazza, & Rozin, 2014), how they perceive others' faces or facial expressions (Abdel Rahman, 2011;Luo, Wang, Dzhelyova, Huang, & Mo, 2016;Suess, Rabovsky, & Abdel Rahman, 2015;Wieser et al, 2014;Xu, Li, Diao, Fan, & Yang, 2016), and may even affect whether they see others' faces in the first place (Anderson, Siegel, Bliss-Moreau, & Barrett, 2011; but see Rabovsky, Stein, & Abdel Rahman, 2016;Stein, Grubb, Bertrand, Suh, & Verosky, 2017). Here we consider one factor that may influence the potency of social-emotional information to modulate person evaluations: the verbally marked trustworthiness of the information.…”

Affective information about other people's social behavior may prejudice social interactions and bias person judgments. The trustworthiness of person-related information, however, can vary considerably, as in the case of gossip, rumours, lies, or so-called "fake news". Here, we investigated how spontaneous person-likability and explicit person judgments are influenced by trustworthiness, employing event-related potentials as indexes of emotional brain responses. Social-emotional information about the (im)moral behaviour of previously unknown persons was verbally presented as trustworthy fact, (e.g. "He bullied his apprentice") or marked as untrustworthy gossip (by adding e.g. allegedly), using verbal qualifiers that are frequently used in conversations, news and social media to indicate the questionable trustworthiness of the information and as a precaution against wrong accusations. In Experiment 1, spontaneous likability, deliberate person judgments and electrophysiological measures of emotional person evaluation were strongly influenced by negative information, yet remarkably unaffected by the trustworthiness of the information. Experiment 2 replicated these findings and extended them to positive information. Our findings demonstrate a tendency for strong emotional evaluations and person judgments even when they are knowingly based on unclear evidence.
