Neural correlates of pronoun processing: An activation likelihood estimation meta-analysis
Brain Lang. 2023 Oct 15;246:105347. doi: 10.1016/j.bandl.2023.105347. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPronouns are unique linguistic devices that allow for the expression of referential relationships. Despite their communicative utility, the neural correlates of the operations involved in reference assignment and/or resolution, are not well-understood. The present study synthesized the neuroimaging literature on pronoun processing to test extant theories of pronoun comprehension. Following the PRISMA guidelines and thebest-practice recommendations for neuroimaging meta-analyses, a systematic literature search and record asse...

Spatiotemporal characteristics of the neural representation of event concepts
Brain Lang. 2023 Oct 15;246:105328. doi: 10.1016/j.bandl.2023.105328. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEvents are a fundamentally important part of our understanding of the world. How lexical concepts denoting events are represented in the brain remains controversial. We conducted two experiments using event and object nouns matched on a range of psycholinguistic variables, including concreteness, to examine spatial and temporal characteristics of event concepts. Both experiments used magnitude and valence tasks on event and object nouns. The fMRI experiment revealed a distributed set of regions for events, including the angu...

Observing gesture at learning enhances subsequent phonological and semantic processing of L2 words: An N400 study
This study employed the N400 event-related potential (ERP) to investigate how observing different types of gestures at learning affects the subsequent processing of L2 Mandarin words differing in lexical tone by L1 English speakers. The effects of pitch gestures conveying lexical tones (e.g., upwards diagonal movements for rising tone), semantic gestures conveying word meanings (e.g., waving goodbye for to wave), and no gesture were compared. In a lexical tone discrimination task, larger N400s for Mandarin target words mismatching vs. matching Mandarin prime words in lexical tone were observed for words learned with pitch ...
