• What can advertisers learn from neuroscience? (2007, background): “This response is highly sensitive to processes of contextual integration, reflecting reliably the extent to which an individual stimulus is expected on the basis of information provided by the local context or retrieved from long-term memory (Kutas & Federmeier 2000).”
• The neuropragmatics of 'simple' utterance comprehension: An ERP review (2009, methodology): “But this variation is generally taken to reflects differences in where in the brain the relevant conceptual information is represented, rather than differences in the fundamental nature of the processes reflected by the N400 (e.g. Kutas & Federmeier, 2000 ).”
• Thinking ahead: the role and roots of prediction in language comprehension. (2007, background): “All potentially meaningful items elicit this response, regardless of modality or task (for a review, see Kutas & Federmeier, 2001).”
• N400-like Magnetoencephalography Responses Modulated by Semantic Context, Word Frequency, and Lexical Class in Sentences (2002, background): “…scalp negativities with peak latency ϳ400 ms can be observed not only when contrasting sentence-terminal incongruous versus congruous words, but also when contrasting various classes of sentence-intermediate words (Kutas and Van Petten, 1994; Van Petten, 1995; Kutas and Federmeier, 2000).”
• The Neural Integration of Speaker and Message (2008, background): “ Kutas & Federmeier, 2000, Figure 1). 2. Recent evidence suggests that mismatches between emotional prosody and emotional word meaning (e.g., ‘‘failure’’) also modulate the N400 (Schirmer & Kotz, 2006; Schirmer, Kotz, & Friederici, 2002, 2005).”
• Is the Concept of Incongruity Still a Useful Construct for the Advancement of Humor Research? (2008, background): “…whether the N400 is to be associated with the first or the second stage of perception and resolution of the incongruity; furthermore, the N400 is considered to reflect semantic processing in general and it is also evoked by nonhumorous stimuli (Kutas and Federmeier 2000; Uekermann et al. 2007).”
• The time course of visual word recognition as revealed by linear regression analysis of ERP data (2006, methodology): “The Lexicality effect consists of responses to pseudowords being more negative than those to words, a pattern consistent with previously reported N400 effects for pseudowords (Holcomb and Neville, 1990; Kutas and Federmeier, 2000).”
• Anticipating upcoming words in discourse: evidence from ERPs and reading times. (2005, background): “…Federmeier, Kutas, and colleagues, is that anomalous words that are semantically related to context-predictable words elicit smaller N400 effects than do unrelated anomalous words (Federmeier & Kutas, 1999a, 1999b; see also Federmeier, McLennan, De Ochoa, & Kutas, 2002; Kutas & Federmeier, 2000).”
• Cortical analysis of visual context. (2003, background): “Blocks of experimental images were tions (Kutas and Federmeier, 2000) and information on separated by 20 s intervals of rest during which a fixation dot was what other associated representations need to be actipresented.”
• Investigating scalar implicatures in a truth-value judgement task: evidence from event-related brain potentials (2016, background): “…of a sentence given inherent language rules of semantic composition, semantic fit of the stimulus to the background context, or its plausibility given our world-knowledge (Kutas & Federmeier, 2000; Kutas & Hillyard, 1980; Nieuwland & Van Berkum, 2006; Van Berkum, Hagoort, & Brown, 1999).”
• Interplay between acoustic/phonetic and semantic processes during spoken sentence comprehension: an ERP study. (2011, positive): “Our results also seem to corroborate both integrative and lexical accounts of the N400 (Kutas & Federmeier, 2000; Lau et al., 2008).”
• Grammatical Gender and Number Agreement in Spanish: An ERP Comparison (2005, background): “Semantic violations usually produce a significant enhancement of the N400 component, a negative waveform associated to lexical–semantic integration processes (see review in Kutas & Federmeier, 2000 ).”
• Understanding Sentences in Context What Brain Waves Can Tell Us (2008, background): “As argued elsewhere, much of this probably comes for free as a result of how our long-term semantic memory works ( Kutas & Federmeier, 2000; Van Berkum, in press-b).”
