“…Recall that in the study by Vissers et al (2008) mismatches between the spatial configuration of objects and different prepositions ('in front of' relative to 'above') did not elicit a different ERP pattern. It's possible that this null effect reflects a genuine absence of differences, as argued by the authors.…”

“…Vissers et al (2008), for instance, observed statistically indistinguishable P600 differences in response to two kinds of spatial mismatches (vs. matches). When participants verified depictions ( △) against ensuing written sentences (e.g., 'the triangle stands behind / in front of / above the square'), the two mismatches ('in front of / above') elicited statistically indistinguishable mean amplitude negativities and P600s relative to the matches ('behind').…”

“…In fact, when we employ continuous methods such as eye tracking and ERPs to study language processing in non-linguistic visual contexts, then a range of tasks appear suitable for providing insight into the time course and nature of language processing and into the interaction of comprehension processes with information from the nonlinguistic context. Among these are tasks in which participants act out instructions on objects (e.g., Tanenhaus, Spivey-Knowlton, Eberhard, & Sedivy, 1995), listen for comprehension (e.g., Altmann & Kamide, 1999), judge sentence veracity (e.g., Guerra & Knoeferle, 2013), and verify picture-sentence congruence (e.g., Altmann & Kamide, 1999;Knoeferle et al, 2011;Vissers, Kolk, Van de Meerendonk, & Chwilla, 2008;Wassenaar & Hagoort, 2007).

“…In addition adjectival color mismatches in the token test (object: red square; linguistic input: green square) yielded an anterior N2b component instead of a posterior N400. The N2b has been associated with mismatch detection rather than language processing (D'Arcy & Connolly, 1999;Vissers et al, 2008).…”

“…When participants verified depictions ( △) against ensuing written sentences (e.g., 'the triangle stands behind / in front of / above the square'), the two mismatches ('in front of / above') elicited statistically indistinguishable mean amplitude negativities and P600s relative to the matches ('behind'). Vissers et al (2008) argued that the absence of a difference between distinct picture-sentence mismatches reflects a general monitoring mechanism responding to any kind of violation. If that is true, however, then it is unclear why picture-sentence incongruence processing does not always elicit a P600.…”

Language comprehension in rich non-linguistic contexts: combining eye-tracking and event-related brain potentials

The present chapter reviews the literature on visually situated language comprehension against the background that most theories of real-time sentence comprehension have ignored rich non-linguistic contexts. However, listeners' eye movements to objects during spoken language comprehension, as well as their eventrelated brain potentials (ERPs) have revealed that non-linguistic cues play an important role for real-time comprehension. In fact, referential processes are rapid and central in visually situated spoken language comprehension and even abstract words are rapidly grounded in objects through semantic associations. Similar ERP responses for non-linguistic and linguistic effects on comprehension suggest these two information sources are on a par in informing language comprehension. ERPs further revealed that non-linguistic cues affect lexical-semantic as well as compositional processes, thus further cementing the role of rich non-linguistic context in language comprehension. However, there is also considerable ambiguity in the linking between comprehension processes and each of these two measures (eye movements and ERPs). Combining eye-tracking and event-related brain potentials would improve the interpretation of individual measures and thus insights into visually-situated language comprehension.Knoeferle, P.

Temporally remote destabilization of prediction after rare breaches of expectancy

While neural signatures of breaches of expectancy and their immediate effects have been investigated, thus far, temporally more remote effects have been neglected. The present fMRI study explored neural correlates of temporally remote destabilization of prediction following rare breaches of expectancy with a mean delay of 14 s. We hypothesized temporally remote destabilization to be reflected either in an attenuation of areas related to long-term memory or in an increase of lateral fronto-parietal loops related to the encoding of new stimuli. Monitoring a deterministic 24-digit sequence, subjects were asked to indicate occasional sequential omissions by key press. Temporally remote destabilization of prediction was expected to be revealed by contrasting sequential events whose equivalent was omitted in the preceding sequential run n-1 (destabilized events) with sequential events without such history (nondestabilized events). Temporally remote destabilization of prediction was reflected in an attenuation of activity in the dorsal frontomedian cortex (Brodmann Area (BA) 9) bilaterally. Moreover, activation of the left medial BA 9 was enhanced by contrasting nondestabilized events with breaches. The decrease of dorsal frontomedian activation in the case of destabilized events might be interpreted as a top-down modulation on perception causing a less expectation-restricted encoding of the current stimulus and hence enabling the adaptation of expectation and prediction in the long run.

Fouten maken is menselijk. Juist daarom is het belangrijk, dat ons cognitieve systeem zichzelf beschermt tegen de consequenties van fouten. Zo bewaken wij continu de kwaliteit van ons gedrag, waardoor onze prestaties beter worden (zie bijvoorbeeld Stuss & Benson, 1986). Voordat een fout gecorrigeerd kan worden, moet hij eerst worden opgemerkt. Binnen het domein van de taalproductie wordt aangenomen, dat er een monitor bestaat om problemen te ontdekken en een proces van correctie op te starten. Monitoren kan hierbij manifest worden in de zogenoemde zelfreparaties van de spraak. Deze zelfreparaties voorkomen dat de spreker verkeerd wordt begrepen door zijn of haar gesprekspartner. We maken ook fouten bij het waarnemen van taal; soms verstaan we iemand verkeerd, of maken we een fout bij het lezen. Het is aannemelijk dat binnen het domein van de taalperceptie een monitor werkzaam is die vergelijkbaar is met die binnen het gebied van de taalproductie.
