Levels of processing during non-conscious perception: a critical review of visual masking (2007, background): “Semantic priming produced an attenuation of the N400, an ERP component thought to reflect either lexical or semantic integration of information (Kutas & Hillyard 1980; Holcomb 1993).”
Mediated Priming in the Lexical Decision Task: Evidence from Event-Related Potentials and Reaction Time (2000, methodology): “It has been established that the N400 component is especially sensitive to semantic processing (see Kutas & VanPetten, 1988, 1994, for reviews) and that its amplitude is smaller when a word is preceded by a related word than when it is preceded by an unrelated word (e.g., Holcomb, 1993; Swaab, Bro”
A cortical network for semantics: (de)constructing the N400 (2008, background): “Word-like non-words, which are associated with long reaction times in lexical decision tasks, often elicit larger N400 responses than word”
On the Time Course of Visual Word Recognition: An Event-related Potential Investigation using Masked Repetition Priming (2006, background): “…that the most-frequently cited interpretation of the functional significance of the N400 is that it reflects a postlexical semantic process (e.g., Holcomb, 1993), the question of why earlier ERP effects, in particular ones sensitive to processes that occur before semantic processing, were not…”
Cognition (1999, neutral): “The responses from the remaining 131 participants were retained for analysis.”
Semantics and the electrophysiology of meaning: Tense, aspect, event structure (2004, background): “Experimental evidence points in the direction of two competing accounts: the first, which postulates that the N400 is directly correlated with the difficulty in integrating the meaning of the upcoming word in the sentence model [208, 209, 79, 155, 52, 81, 148, 127]; the second, which proposes the N4”
