The nature of semantic memory deficits in Alzheimer's disease : evidence from event-related brain potentials and reaction time measures
… deficits in Alzheimer's disease: Evidence from event-related brain potentials and reaction time measures Semantic memory impairment is commonly observed in patients with dementia of the Alzheimer type (DAT); however the nature of the impairment is unclear. Some researchers argue that the deficit …

Age-related differences in semantic priming : evidence from event-related brain potentials
… in response to a word that immediately follows a related sentence or single-word is age-invariant. This was done using the N400 event-related brain potential (ERP). N400 amplitude varies inversely with semantic priming (Kutas, 1980), and this effect is larger for sentence primes than for word …

Neurocognitive plasticity in verb bias learning in children and adults
… structure is closely intertwined with the event information delivered by the verb and its argument, which raises complexity in teasing apart the information from linguistic co-occurrence frequency and the information from the event semantics. In this dissertation I began by examining the …

The P300 and Stages of Human Information Processing: An Additive Factors Study
The P300 is an event-related brain potential (ERP) recorded at the scalp following the presentation of a task-relevant stimulus. Several investigators have found that the latency of P300 covaries with reaction time (RT) in discrimination and categorization tasks. However, other investigators have …

The reanalysis and interpretation of garden-path sentences by native speakers and second language learners
… between the amount of reanalysis and final interpretation of such sentences (Chapter 4). Verb bias refers to the likelihood of a particular verb taking a particular argument structure, such as a direct object (DO) or a sentential complement (SC). Previous research has demonstrated that native …
