Journal ArticleDOI
Brain potentials reflect violations of gender stereotypes
TL;DR: The results are taken to indicate that ERPs are sensitive to violations of gender-based occupational stereotypes and that the ERP response to stereotype violations is similar to the P600 effect elicited by a variety of syntactic anomalies.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the language specificity of the brain response to syntactic anomalies: Is the syntactic positive shift a member of the p300 family?
TL;DR: An initial indication that the positive shift elicited by agreement violations is distinct from the P300 response to unexpected, task-relevant anomalies that do not involve the violation of a grammatical rule is taken.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brain potentials elicited by words: word length and frequency predict the latency of an early negativity
TL;DR: Regression analyses indicated that the latency of an early-occurring negative component was highly correlated with the mean length and normative frequency of words in each grammatical category, consistent with the claim that open- and closed-class words elicit qualitatively distinct negativities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Event-related brain potentials and human language
TL;DR: Recent work demonstrating that ERPs are quite sensitive to (at least some of) the psychological and neural events underlying human language is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Age-Related Changes in Executive Function: An Event-Related Potential (ERP) Investigation of Task-Switching
TL;DR: Older adults have difficulty when executive control must be brought on line to coordinate ongoing behavior, resulting in persistent recruitment of prefrontal processes for conditions that do not require them in the young.
