Parallel Syntactic Processing in the Flankers task: Insights from ERP Decoding: http://osf.io/bn58y/
The 2nd gift is a paper accepted to Cortex lead by Dave Kenneth Tayao Cayado, part of a larger grant under Linnaea Stockall. We track the brain's processing of morphologically complex words from initial decomposition to later recomposition. This is Dave's baby, so I'll let him explain when he can!
And, shout-out to my co-PI @liinapy.bsky.social and her group – this is part of a bigger project examining how phrases and sentences are processed when presented in parallel; what happens when separate out 'incrementality' from the 'words'? How does the brain respond to *SENTENCES*?
And, methodologically, we hope to show that we can start to probe more complex structures with the RPVP paradigm, albeit with some sacrifices and modifications that remove some of its elegance.
The RPVP paradigm, we claim, helps mitigate the demands on working memory necessitated by word-by-word processing. So, we think these findings suggest that there is still detectable contribution of the *structure* of the RC, hearkening back to earlier representational theories
We also find that Subject RCs and Object RCs show distinct EEG signals that diverge pretty early in the presentation of the first NP in the sentence – though we hesitate to make strong inferences about what this tells us about processing.
Well, ostensibly, we find a subject RC advantage, consistent with some findings and inconsistent with others. But, we also find a very strong interaction between RC type and whether it modifies the subject or object NP (replicating others).
