Q

Two key validations for visual world paradigm

A

1) Speech-mediated eye movements to relevant visual targets are closely timelocked to the linguistic stimuli (happening ~200ms later)
2) These eye movements index a number of underlying comprehension mechanisms

Q

Coordinated Interplay Account

A

Posits three processes:

(i) searching for visual referents of spoken referring expressions
(ii) grounding referring expressions with objects and events in the scene
(iii) use of visual scene to confirm or inform the linguistic interpretation

Q

Joint representation of linguistic meaning and visual information

A
  • Anticipated linguistic meaning and visual scene information are not distinguishable
    from each other
  • Interact with each other and updating occurs on the joint representation

Q

Exogenous and endogenous ERPs

A

Exogenous: within 100ms, provoked by external stimulus, bottom up
Endogenous: after 100ms, reflect cognitive processes, top down

Q

Graded semantic processing

A

Words with same initial phoneme diverge later in terms of ERPs than different sounding words
Same with congruent vs incongruent words

17
Q

ERP measures of syntactic processing

A

ELAN
LAN
P600 aka syntactic positive shift (but, controversial)

18
Q

Lexical-semantic expectations

A

Hearing ‘a’ vs ‘an’ affects ERPs, expectation of next word
