Individual Differences in Language Processing: Electrophysiological Approaches

摘要: Language processing is a complex task that requires both specialized cognitive processes (e.g. speech decoding) and more general working memory). Research on how individual differences in these influence language comprehension has primarily relied behavioral methods, such as reaction time measures, self-paced reading, eye-tracking. However, growing number of studies have used electrophysiological (EEG) techniques to study processing. EEG event-related potential (ERP) methods provide unique link between neural activity can be draw specific inferences about the basis its variability. The primary goal this paper showcase EEG/ERP made significant contributions brain language, over above what would possible using alone. A secondary highlight several methodological issues research identify ways which take advantage been learned from previous minimize issues.
