Questions and Answers

What are the potential implications for future research based on the behavior of between-language cohorts in the given task?

Bilinguals may need to generate explicit phonological expectations in both languages for the target picture.

How do top-down connections influence the activation of competitors in the context of phonological mismatches?

Top-down connections from the target lead to the activation of competitors, resulting in reduced N400s to mismatches.

Explain the potential similarity in behavior between L2-cohort mismatches and within-language cohort mismatches.

Participants may develop explicit target expectation for L1 phonology, but L2 target phonology can still be activated.

What could be observed in bilinguals if between-language cohorts behave like within-language cohorts in the given task?

What is the role of the N400 component in the study of spoken word processing?

<p>It helps in understanding how words are identified correctly from the target language.</p> Signup and view all the answers

How do ERPs contribute to investigating the dynamics of cross-language connections in bilinguals?

<p>By characterizing the role of phonological similarity through components like PMN and N400.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Explain the difference in processing cohorts vs. rhymes during picture/spoken-word matching.

<p>Cohort mismatches result in no modulation of the PMN and late increased N400 negativity compared to unrelated and rhyme mismatches. Rhyme mismatches elicit a PMN and a reduced N400.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What do the large late N400s for cohort mismatches reflect?

<p>The large late N400s for cohort mismatches reflect the simultaneous mismatch of phonology and lexicality, and the effortful processing required when initial bottom-up information matches an expectation.</p> Signup and view all the answers

How do rhyme mismatches differ from cohort mismatches in terms of brain responses?

<p>Rhyme mismatches elicit a PMN and a reduced N400, while cohort mismatches show no modulation of the PMN and late increased N400 negativity.</p> Signup and view all the answers

In what way are rhyme competitors activated in the brain during processing?

<p>Rhyme competitors are activated via top-down connections, leading to facilitated recognition of rhyme mismatches.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What has research shown about the differential modulation of the PMN and N400 for cohorts and rhymes?

<p>Research has shown that the differential modulation of the PMN and N400 for cohorts and rhymes is robust across typical development in English and in other languages.</p> Signup and view all the answers

How have future directions in research been influenced by the findings related to cohorts and rhymes?

<p>Future directions in research have been influenced by the differential brain responses to cohorts and rhymes, leading to investigations in diverse languages and development stages.</p> Signup and view all the answers
