“…Many of the latter studies have investigated the processing of words either pre-activated/predicted via (lexical-)semantic priming, contextual predictability or a combination of both. The specific kind of divergence differs across studies, depending on whether: (i) N400 and behavioral measures show incongruent effect directions across measures or incongruent effect sizes, particularly nil effects in one vs. the other measure (e.g., Holcomb and Kounios, 1990; Kounios and Holcomb, 1992; Holcomb, 1993; Chwilla et al, 2000; Kiefer, 2001; Rolke et al, 2001; Federmeier et al, 2010; Debruille et al, 2013; differences with eye movements: Dimigen et al, 2011; Kretzschmar et al, 2015; Degno et al, 2019); or (ii) behavioral effects have reflexes in a biphasic pattern of N400 and (partly) overlapping positivity (e.g., Roehm et al, 2007; Bakker et al, 2015; Meade and Coch, 2017). For instance, in a study on lexical and semantic-priming effects on the processing of newly-learned vs. existing words, Bakker et al (2015) found diverging effects of lexicality and semantic relatedness in response accuracy and ERPs elicited by target words in a word-list presentation.…”
