Investigating scalar implicatures in a truth-value judgement task: evidence from event-related brain potentials (2016, background): “…interpretation of the P600 does not seem to be straightforward and it has been suggested that the P600may reflect more general or combinatorial repair processes that are aimed at resolving inconsistency in the input (Hagoort, 2003; Kolk and Chwilla, 2007; Kuperberg, 2007; Van Herten et al., 2005).”
Simultaneously Uncovering the Patterns of Brain Regions Involved in Different Story Reading Subprocesses (2014, background): “For example, researchers have searched for brain regions where neural activity increases or decreases when the input stimulus is a word, in contrast to a non-word letter string [4], or a sentence with simple versus complex syntax [5], or a sentence with expected versus unexpected meaning [6].”
The interplay of individual differences and context of learning in behavioral and neurocognitive second language development (2018, background): “Considering that the N400 is posited to reflect semantic processing strategies (see Kuperberg, 2007; Kutas and Federmeier, 2011), if studyabroad experience pushes learners to employ meaning-based communicative strategies, we might expect learners who have just returned from immersion to make more…”
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, Kuperberg (2007) argues that the N400 reflects semantic memory-based mechanisms, while the P600 reflects combinatorial analysis.”
Prediction in language comprehension beyond specific words: An ERP study on sentence comprehension in Polish (2013, background): “The P600 is also often found for purely semantic violations, and may reflect recruitment of additional attentional or revision mechanisms, associated with processing violations (Bornkessel-Schlesewsky & Schlesewsky, 2008; Kuperberg, 2007; van de Meerendonk, Kolk, Vissers, & Chwilla, 2010).”
Understanding Sentences in Context What Brain Waves Can Tell Us (2008, background): “Other recent ERP findings also suggest that good sense can sometimes outweigh good syntax (e.g., Kuperberg, 2007).”
The Neural Integration of Speaker and Message (2008, background): “Whether these effects are related (see below for important differences between the two experiments), and whether there is a relation to other meaning-induced late positivities (see Kuperberg, 2007, for review) remains to be established.”
The linguistic processes underlying the P600 (2010, background): “, 2004; Stroud, 2008), or to both of these factors (Kuperberg, 2007).”
Getting real about semantic illusions: rethinking the functional role of the P600 in language comprehension. (2012, background): “Kuperberg (2007) proposed an architecture in which three streams operate in parallel.”
An alternative perspective on "semantic P600" effects in language comprehension. (2008, neutral): “…thematic role violation was detected (reflected by the early part of the P600), participants may not have engaged in further attempts to semantic/ pragmatically integrate the meaning of the verb into its preceding context (reflected by the attenuation of the N400)” (Kuperberg et al., 2007, p. 235).”
What do we mean by prediction in language comprehension? (2015, background): “For example, in a recent ERP study, Xiang and Kuperberg (2015) showed that, with a requirement to explicitly”
Prediction during language comprehension: benefits, costs, and ERP components. (2012, methodology): “These semantic P600s have been attributed to processes similar to those thought to underlie clearly syntactic P600s, namely re-analysis, " re-attending " , or prolonged analysis of problematic sentences (Kolk et al., 2003; Kuperberg, 2007; van Herten et al., 2006).”
Individual differences in working memory and processing speed predict anticipatory spoken language processing in the visual world (2016, neutral): “Perhaps working memory capacity is more important for combinatorial mechanisms of prediction (cf. Kuperberg, 2007) than for simple associative mechanisms (cf. Kuperberg, 2007; Pickering & Garrod, 2013).”
