Mapping dissociations in verb morphology.

Substantial behavioural and neuropsychological evidence has been amassed to support the dual-route model of morphological processing, which distinguishes between a rule-based system for regular items (walk-walked, call-called) and an associative system for the irregular items (go-went). Some neural-network models attempt to explain the neuropsychological and brain-mapping dissociations in terms...

Dissociations in processing past tense morphology: neuropathology and behavioral studies.

Neuropsychological research showing that the regular ("jump-jumped") and irregular ("drive/drove") past tense inflectional morphology can dissociate following brain damage has been important in testing claims about the cognitive and neural status of linguistic rules. These dissociations have been interpreted as evidence for two different computational systems-a rule-based system underlying the ...

Event-related potentials demonstrate prolonged N400 priming effects for English irregular verbs

Evidence from event-related potentials has an important role to play in refining current models of inflectional morphology. Here, we present ERP data regarding the English past tense, using an immediate-priming design that frequently has been used in both healthy and neuropsychological populations (Tyler et al., 2002). The majority of extant ERP studies of inflectional morphology have adopted e...

Time to Go Our Separate Ways: Opposite Effects of Study Duration on Priming and Recognition Reveal Distinct Neural Substrates

Amnesic patients have difficulties recognizing when stimuli are repeated, even though their responses to stimuli can change as a function of repetition in indirect tests of memory - a pattern known as priming without recognition. Likewise, experimental manipulations can impair recognition in healthy individuals while leaving priming relatively unaffected, and priming and recognition have been a...
