Toward Gender-Inclusive Coreference Resolution (2019, background): “In neurolinguistic studies, Osterhout and Mobley [1995] and Hagoort and Brown [1999] looked at event-related potential (ERP) violations for reflexive pronouns and antecedent in English, finding similar effects to violations of number agreement, but different effects from semantic violations.”
Brain potentials reflect violations of gender stereotypes (1997, background): “…sentences containing a linguistic anomaly are more negative going than are ERPs to the same words in nonanomalous sentences, particularly within the window associated with the N400 component (i.e., between 300 and 500 msec; Hagoort et al., 1993; Osterhout & Holcomb, 1992; Osterhout & Mobley, 1995).”
Brain Potentials Reveal Discrete Stages of L2 Grammatical Learning (2010, background): “…are numerous studies of grammatical processing that have failed to show LAN effects in native speakers (e.g., Ainsworth-Darnell et al., 1998; Frenck-Mestre et al., 2008, 2009; Hagoort et al., 1993; Kim & Osterhout, 2005; McKinnon & Osterhout, 1996; Osterhout & Mobley, 1995; Sabourin & Stowe, 2008).”
Multi-dimensional contributions to garden path strength: Dissociating phrase structure from case marking (2004, unknown): “…& Groothusen, 1993; Osterhout & Holcomb, 1992) and left-anterior negativities of varying latency (the ELAN, e.g., Hahne & Friederici, 1999; Neville, Nicol, Barss, Forster, & Garrett, 1991; and the LAN, e.g., Coulson, King, & Kutas, 1998; Gunter, Stowe, & Mulder, 1997; Osterhout & Mobley, 1995).”
Gender Electrified: ERP Evidence on the Syntactic Nature of Gender Processing (1999, background): “This ERP effect is observed to a large class of syntactic anomalies, including verb tense anomalies ("The cats won't eating the food that Mary leaves them."; Osterhout et al., 1997) and violations of the required agreement in number between subject and verb ("The men throws the ball."; Hagoort et al”
The linguistic processes underlying the P600 (2010, result): “…but it was more reliable at anterior electrodes, and thus it is a plausible counterpart of the anterior negativity (AN) elicited by morphosyntactic anomalies in many previous studies (e.g., Coulson et al., 1998b; Friederici et al., 1993; Hagoort et al., 2003a; Osterhout & Mobley, 1995).”
Syntactic and phonological processing in developmental dyslexia (2004, background): “Pinker (1984) argues that several aspects of affixes determine the order of development.”
Morphosyntactic processing in advanced second language (L2) learners: An event-related potential investigation of the effects of L1–L2 similarity and structural distance (2014, background): “For example, syntactic agreement violations, such as *The elected officials hopes …, consistently elicit a P600 in native speakers (Osterhout and Mobley, 1995).”
Grammatical Gender and Number Agreement in Spanish: An ERP Comparison (2005, result): “In another study, Osterhout and Mobley (1995) compared number agreement violations between subject and verb, between a reflexive pronoun and its antecedent, and between a personal pronoun and its antecedent.,As far as we know, only the study of Osterhout and Mobley (1995) has directly compared t”
The extended argument dependency model: a neurocognitive approach to sentence comprehension across languages. (2006, background): “For a violation of subject–verb agreement, the literature consistently reports a transient LAN followed by a late positivity (cf., for example, de Vincenzi et al., 2003, for Italian; Hagoort & Brown, 2000, for Dutch; Osterhout & Mobley, 1995, for English; Roehm, Bornkessel, Haider, & Schlesewsky, 20”
The independence of combinatory semantic processing: Evidence from event-related potentials (2005, background): “2 In some studies, syntactic violations have also elicited a negative wave over anterior regions of the scalp, with onsets ranging from 150 to 300 ms (Friederici, 1995; Neville, Nicol, Barss, Forster, & Garrett, 1991; Osterhout & Holcomb, 1992; Osterhout & Mobley, 1995 ).”
Toward Gender-Inclusive Coreference Resolution: An Analysis of Gender and Bias Throughout the Machine Learning Lifecycle* (2021, background): “In neurolinguistic studies, Osterhout and Mobley (1995) and Hagoort and Brown (1999) looked at event-related potential (ERP) violations for reﬂexive pronouns and antecedent in English, ﬁnding similar e ﬀ ects to violations of number agreement, but di ﬀ erent e ﬀ ects from semantic violations.”
Temporal dynamics of late second language acquisition: evidence from event-related brain potentials (2009, background): “Note that the scalp distribution of LAN-like components displays some variability in native speakers, or may be absent altogether (see, for example, Osterhout and Mobley, 1995); however, the point here is that where these LAN effects reliably show up in natives, at this stage of L2 acquisition they…”
