Bilinguals reading in their second language do not predict upcoming words as native readers do (2013, background): “Classically observed in visual masked priming studies, the N250 is sensitive to the degree of prime-target orthographic overlap (Grainger & Holcomb, 2009; Holcomb & Grainger, 2006; Kiyonaga, Midgley, Holcomb, & Grainger, 2007).”
Watching the Word Go by: On the Time-course of Component Processes in Visual Word Recognition (2009, background): “In Holcomb and Grainger (2006), it was 70 ms (50 ms duration of the prime and a 20 ms backward mask with the target immediately replacing the backward mask).”
Cracking the orthographic code: An introduction (2008, methodology): “In the last two decades, masked priming has become a key tool for studying all aspects of visual word recognition, using both behavioural measures of performance and also more direct measures of brain activity (e.g., Dehaene et al., 2004; Holcomb & Grainger, 2006).”
The representation and processing of identical cognates by late bilinguals: RT and ERP effects (2013, background): “Whereas the RT in lexical decision reflects the combined time it takes to recognize a word and make a decision on it, an ERP provides a more continuous reflection of the processes that underlie word reading (Holcomb & Grainger, 2006).”
