ERPs for the effect of Structure at the second word position. The 200-ms pre-onset baseline interval is indicated with a gray rectangle. Scalp maps show BEI minus BA (top) and noun two minus BA (bottom) for the P200 and N400 time windows.

Mandarin Chinese is typologically unusual among the world’s languages in having flexible word order despite a near absence of inflectional morphology. These features of Mandarin challenge conventional linguistic notions such as subject and object and the divide between syntax and semantics. In the present study, we tested monolingual processing of...

... at the respective second word in NNV, BA and BEI sentences (i.e., contrasting noun two in NNV and the coverbs) showed strong variation in the P200 amplitude of the coverbs BA and BEI, as can be seen in Fig. 2. Direct comparison between ERPs showed that BA elicited a smaller P200 than BEI and noun two in NNV sentences, as can be appreciated in Fig. 2. Noun two further elicited a sizeable N400 component, consistent with word class effects 63 . The smaller P200 for BA was not predicted a priori, but given the striking visual difference in the ...Context 2

The smaller P200 for BA was not predicted a priori, but given the striking visual difference in the ERP waveforms, we analyzed single trial amplitudes in the P200 and N400 time windows. The average P200 amplitude for BA sentences was ...Similar publications
Visual working memory (VWM) plays a crucial role in temporarily maintaining and manipulating visual information. Retro-cue benefit (RCB) refers to the enhancement of memory performance when attention is directed toward a subset of items in VWM after their initial encoding. Our recent electroencephalogram (EEG) studies indicate that cue validity aff...
