Cross-form conceptual relations between sounds and words: effects on the novelty P3.

摘要: Abstract In order for cross-form conceptual priming to occur, the brain must extract an amodal representation of presented concept. To determine whether novelty P3 would show such effects, novel, environmental sounds or their verbal equivalents were repeated two blocks after first presentation in conditions, word–sound (e.g., word “pig” followed by sound “oink”) sound–word. Conceptual repetition engendered asymmetric reduction amplitude, i.e., amplitude was reduced sound–word but not condition. The data suggest that reflects evaluative stage processing which some semantic information is extracted. However, lack condition implies that, at least delays used here, as a conceptually equivalent may have failed make contact with initial
