Anticipation during language processing: Investigating the use of sentence context during reading in young adults

Johns, Alison, Wilson, Kristy, Kim, Esther, Cummine, Jacqueline
The N400 is an event-related potential (ERP) component that has been suggested to be associated with the processing of semantic information. Specifically, researchers have found that the N400 effect is prominent when words are incongruent in a given sentence context. Furthermore, the size of the...

Demands on directed attention can result in attentional fatigue, inhibiting our ability to voluntarily direct attention to important features of our surroundings. Inherently fascinating environments, such as nature, have been shown to promote recovery of attention. Environments that do not...

Connecting Visual Perception, Attention, and Probabilistic Models of Task Performance with EEG Measured Brain Activity
DownloadFall 2022
The neural mechanisms underlying visual perception and attention continue to elude researchers despite decades of research. Developing novel methodology and improved analytical techniques may provide key insights into these processes that traditional approaches have been unable to reveal. In this...

EEG in the wild: Using real-world tasks to measure changes in EEG rhythms related to human Attention.
DownloadFall 2023
Understanding attentional processes in everyday environments is an important step to further understanding the EEG rhythms that, for decades, have been studied in isolated indoor chambers. The present dissertation aimed to investigate the dynamics of EEG oscillations using mobile settings. The...

Perception is to sensation what illusion is to the actual state of the world. How we sense information varies greatly from how we ultimately perceive and understand that information - a result of top-down and bottom-up processes at work. Work from over 100 years ago (Brucke, 1864) found an...

The major question addressed by neuroscience is how behavior can be explained through knowledge of the brain. Given the unobservable nature of mind, cognitive neuroscientists depend on observations of the electrical activity of the brain gleaned through electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings to...

This study compares the role of cognitive processes in children diagnosed with learning disabilities (LD) through the traditional aptitude-achievement discrepancy model with students diagnosed on the basis of their low achievement alone. Historically, in North American settings, LD has been...
