Morphosyntactic processing in advanced second language (L2) learners: An event-related potential investigation of the effects of L1–L2 similarity and structural distance (2014, methodology): “Several studies have used ERPs to compare the processing of number and gender agreement in native speakers (Barber and Carreiras, 2005; Nevins et al., 2007).”
WHEN GENDER AND LOOKING GO HAND IN HAND (2013, background): “They have also been found for languages such as Spanish, which has two grammatical genders (e.g., Barber & Carreiras, 2005 ; Lew-Williams & Fernald, 2007 ), as well as for languages with more than two grammatically marked genders, such as German and Serbo-Croatian (e.g., Gurjanov et al., 1985 ;…”
Prediction during language comprehension: benefits, costs, and ERP components. (2012, background): “The positivity linked to memory retrieval is thus unlikely to be the sole contributor to sentence P600s, but we suggest that one variety of cognitive " cost " that can occur when sentence-processing hits a snag is the burden of retrieving individual words from recent memory.”
On the Relationships Between the Grammatical Genders of Inanimate Nouns and Their Co-Occurring Adjectives and Verbs (2020, background): “, 2008; Harbour, 2011; Kramer, 2014, 2015), while some cognitive scientists have shown that grammatical genders can be a perceptual cue—for example, human brain responses exhibit sensitivity to gender mismatches in several different languages (Osterhout and Mobley, 1995; Hagoort and Brown, 1999; Vig”
Bilinguals reading in their second language do not predict upcoming words as native readers do (2013, background): “Analyses of the final critical noun revealed a significant P600 effect suggesting that Spanish speakers of English show on-line sensitivity to phonological agreement violations (Barber & Carreiras, 2005; Foucart & Frenck-Mestre, 2011; Gillon-Dowens et al., 2010; Hagoort & Brown, 1999).”
