Morphosyntactic prediction in automatic neural processing of spoken language: EEG evidence
Brain Research. 2024. Article 1836.
Automatic parsing of syntactic information by the human brain is a well-established phenomenon, but its mechanisms remain poorly understood. Its best-known neurophysiological reflection is the so-called early left-anterior negativity (ELAN) component of event-related potentials (ERPs), with two alternative hypotheses for its origin: (1) error detection, or (2) morphosyntactic prediction/priming. To test these alternatives, we conducted two experiments using a non-attend passive design with visual distraction and recorded ERPs to spoken pronoun-verb phrases with/without agreement violations and to the same critical verbs presented in isolation without preceding pronouns. The results revealed an ELAN at ∼130-220 ms for pronoun-verb gender agreement violations, confirming a high degree of automaticity in early morphosyntactic parsing. Critically, the strongest ELAN was elicited by verbs outside phrasal context, which suggests that the typical ELAN pattern is underpinned by a reduction of ERP amplitudes for felicitous combinations, reflecting syntactic priming/predictability between related words/morphemes (potentially mediated by associative links formed during previous linguistic experience) rather than specialised error-detection processes.

The article is a part of a comprehensive study of the linguistic characteristics of teacher’s speech, which contribute to the success of the pedagogical discourse. Based on a survey of secondary school students and an analysis of previous research in the field, non-syntactic pauses of hesitation were chosen as the object of the study, i. ...

We present a multimodal dataset containing electroencephalography (EEG), electrocardiography (ECG), and video recordings from 49 participants. Each participant completed a single session lasting approximately 45 minutes. During each session they performed five tasks: resting state, inward concentration (focusing on the center of the forehead), outward concentration (visual search), and mind-wandering. EEG data were recorded from ...

This study investigates the role of hesitation pauses in spoken teacher discourse and their duration in the perception and short-term memorization of lexical items. While previous research has suggested that certain disfluencies, including hesitation pauses, can facilitate comprehension and memorization, the specific conditions under which this occurs remain unclear. To address this gap, an experimental ...

Introduction. Video games constitute a special form of digital media characterized by dynamic environments that respond to players’ actions and integrated algorithms. Within psychological research, video games offer better validity compared to traditional automated assessment systems, enabling a naturalistic investigation of various phenomena. Furthermore, video games shape mental processes. These features are widely exploited in international psychological research and are critical ...

Growing evidence suggests the specific systems for emotional information maintenance and processing in working memory, highlighting the role of cognitive domains in emotional awareness. The question of neural basis of social-emotional processing in working memory remains open. We hypothesized that the neural systems supporting working memory for emotional processing may rely on shared ‘core’ networks ...

This work aimed to study the recovery of consciousness during forced awakening from slow-wave sleep (SWS) and rapid eye movement sleep (REM) in healthy volunteers. To track the changes in the degree of awareness of the stimuli during the transition to wakefulness, event-related potentials (ERPs) and motor responses (MR) in the auditory local-global paradigm were ...

The work investigates spatial and temporal EEG patterns during real and imagined execution of hand reaching. Six independent sources of electrical activity were identified in the EEG recordings. The sources corresponded to the premotor areas, supplementary motor area, primary motor areas, and posterior parietal cortex. Their activation patterns in the alpha and beta range were ...

Studying mu-rhythm in developmental disorders is crucial for identifying the origin of motor and social malfunctioning. However, the commonly used mu-rhythm experimental protocol, that requires following instructions, is challenging for children with motor and cognitive deficits. Here we present an inclusive experimental procedure that contains passive hand movement, closed and open eyes and hand movement ...

There is a need for empirical indicators that can monitor subtle changes in wakefulness levels with high temporal resolution. We aimed to assess the applicability in this regard of several indices based on the average spectral power of EEG rhythms, as well as the BIS index used in anesthesiology. 26 volunteers participated in an experiment involving forced awakenings ...

One method for assessing human emotional reactions is considered paradigms involving the presentation of affective images, including facial expressions, which are among the most familiar and noticeable stimuli in our visual environment. Electroencephalography event-related potentials (ERP) to various stimuli are used as sensitive tests for determining categorical perception of specific stimulus modalities. The oddball ERP ...
