'Negation-blind' N400 effect disappears when lexical priming is controlled Open
Previous ERP studies showed that false affirmative sentences elicited a larger N400 than their true versions, but they found the reverse pattern when the sentences were of negative form as if N400 was blind to negation. This negation-blind…

DISCRIMINABILITY AND PROTOTYPICALITY OF NONNATIVE VOWELS Open
This study examined how discriminability and prototypicality of nonnative phones modulate the amplitude of the Mismatch Negativity (MMN) event-related brain potential. We hypothesized that if a frequently occurring (standard) stimulus is n…

Developmental Language Disorder as Syntactic Prediction Impairment Open
We provide evidence that children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) are impaired in predictive syntactic processing. In the current study, children listened passively to auditorily-presented sentences, where the critical condition…

Auditory predictions are phonological when phonetic information is variable Open
An emerging body of studies has claimed that exposure to phonetically varying speech sounds results in strictly phonological representations of speech sounds by the brain’s auditory prediction system (Cornell et al., 2011; Eulitz & Lahiri,…

Active Gap Filling and Island Constraint in Processing the Mandarin “Gap-Type” Topic Structure Open
There is a long-standing debate concerning whether Mandarin topic constructions are movement-derived and form a filler-gap dependency like the English-type topicalization. This ERP study explores this issue by testing whether island constr…

Unlearnable phonotactics Open
The Subregular Hypothesis (Heinz 2010) states that only patterns with specific subregular computational properties are phonologically learnable. Lai (2015) provided the initial laboratory support for this hypothesis. The current study aime…

Neural Underpinnings of Phonotactic Rule Learning Open
This study used behavioral measures and ERP difference waves to measure the underlying brain processes during the categorization of grammatical vs ungrammatical stimuli according to a lab learned phonotactic rule. The results show that par…

Automaticity of speech processing in early bilingual adults and children Open
We examine whether early acquisition of a second language (L2) leads to native-like neural processing of phonemic contrasts that are absent in the L1. Four groups (adult and child monolingual speakers of English; adult and child early bili…

Processing Binding Relations in Specific Language Impairment Open
Purpose This sentence processing experiment examined the abilities of children with specific language impairment (SLI) and children with typical language development (TD) to establish relations between pronouns or reflexives and their ante…
