Lexical ambiguity in sentence comprehension.
An event-related fMRI paradigm was used to investigate brain activity during the reading of sentences containing either a lexically ambiguous word or an unambiguous control word. Higher levels of activation occurred during the reading of sentences containing a lexical ambiguity. Furthermore, the activated cortical network differed, depending on: (1) whether the sentence contained a balanced (i....
متن کاملEffects of Prior Context upon Lexical Access during Sentence Comprehension
When we understand what a person has said we do not understand just isolated words or even isolated sentences. Rather, the interpretation given a particular word or sentence is determined, in part, by the context in which it occurs. But, although there appears to be general agreement that context affects what interpretation is obtained, there is little agreement on how or when this effect is pr...
متن کاملLexical Access during Sentence Comprehension (Re)Consideration of Context Effects
The effects of prior semantic context upon lexical access during sentence comprehension were examined in two experiments. In both studies, subjects comprehended auditorily presented sentences containing lexical ambiguities and simultaneously performed a lexical decision task upon visually presented letter strings. Lexical decisions for visual words related to each of the meanings of the ambigui...
متن کاملBilinguals Show Weaker Lexical Access During Spoken Sentence Comprehension.
When bilinguals process written language, they show delays in accessing lexical items relative to monolinguals. The present study investigated whether this effect extended to spoken language comprehension, examining the processing of sentences with either low or high semantic constraint in both first and second languages. English-German bilinguals, German-English bilinguals and English monoling...
متن کاملSyntactic priming during sentence comprehension: evidence for the lexical boost.
Syntactic priming occurs when structural information from one sentence influences processing of a subsequently encountered sentence (Bock, 1986; Ledoux et al., 2007). This article reports 2 eye-tracking experiments investigating the effects of a prime sentence on the processing of a target sentence that shared aspects of syntactic form. The experiments were designed to determine the degree to w...
