Phillips et al (2000) argued that varying the standards within phonemic category causes the abstract phoneme to be inserted as the memory trace for the Mismatch Negativity mechanism, allowing for measurement of the pure phoneme in the absence of phonetic processing. If true, this predicts that there should be no MMN to a within-category deviant when standards are varied. In a series of experiments we show that this prediction is wrong, and additional experiments indicate that participants instead generate MMN by creating a statistical summary of the varying standards. We discuss the implications for research that relies on this assumption. (Joint work with Chao Han and Bill Idsardi.)<\/p>\n

Seminar 2: N170 evidence for early processing of binding and no intrusion effects<\/h2>\nOutline<\/h6>\n
In an experiment with visually presented stimuli, we measure the effect of agreement violations between antecedents and reflexives where interference from ungrammatical antecedents are available. We find that the visual N170 response provide indications of a very early processing of grammatical antecedents that are not affected by the presence of alternative, ungrammatical antecedents.

Seminar 3: Non-incremental processing of negation<\/h2>\nOutline<\/h6>\n
Fischler’s\u00a0classic experiment demonstrating that negation does not affect the N400 has been criticized for using negation in a way that is pragmatically uninformative. We replicated\u00a0Fischler’s\u00a0experiment with an added condition that meets this criticism, and still observe “N400 blindness”, providing new support for a two-stage, non-incremental model of negation interpretation.\u00a0(Joint work with Bilge Palaz and Ryan Rhodes)<\/p>\n

Seminar 4: Children with specific language impairment exhibits syntactic prediction failure<\/h2>\nOutline<\/h6>\n
Using the ELAN event-related potential, we demonstrate that children with language impairment fail to predict gap-positions during syntactic processing of filler-gap dependencies, suggesting a possible root cause for their impairment.\u00a0(Joint work Valerie Shafer, Richard Schwartz and Baila Epstein)<\/p>\n
