2. 1. Word Learning in the Developing Brain : ERP Dynamics of Learning Word-Object Associations

   Author : Kristina Borgström; Institutionen för psykologi; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Word Learning; Language development; EEG; ERP; N400;

   Abstract : This dissertation investigated electrophysiological measures of individual differences in toddlers’ ability to learn novel object labels and process familiar object words and their referents. The studies measured both visual and auditory event-related potentials (ERPs) in response to pictures of objects and words in a longitudinal sample of 20- to 24-month-olds, an age of dynamic vocabulary development.

4. 2. The neurophysiology of grammatical constraints : ERP studies on the influence of prosody and pragmatics on the processing of syntax and morphology in Swedish

   Author : Mikael Roll; Allmän språkvetenskap; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; linguistics; event-related potentials; ERP; pragmatics; language processing; prosody; syntax;

   Abstract : This dissertation investigates the interaction of information from word order, morphology, lexical semantics, and prosody in the on-line processing of Swedish sentences using Event-Related Potentials. Study I examines how the form, meaning, and syntactic position of objects influence their interpretation in ‘Object Shift’ contexts. READ MORE

5. 3. Prosody and Prediction in Neural Speech Processing

   Author : Pelle Söderström; Allmän språkvetenskap; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Linguistics; ERP; fMRI; Prediction; Prosody; Syntax; speech processing; PrAN;

   Abstract : The present thesis investigated how listeners use prosody to rapidly predict upcoming lexical and syntactic structures. In the first three studies, it was shown that listeners take advantage of Swedish word-level tones to pre- activate upcoming word endings. READ MORE

6. 4. From Cue to Recall : The Temporal Dynamics of Long-Term Memory Retrieval

   Author : Robin Hellerstedt; Institutionen för psykologi; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; think no-think; memory intrusion; retrieval-induced forgetting; ERP; long-term memory; cued recall;

   Abstract : A fundamental function of long-term memory is the ability to retrieve a specific memory when encountering a retrieval cue. The purpose of this dissertation was to further our understanding of such cued recall by investigating the temporal dynamics from the presentation of the retrieval cue until the target memory is recalled.

7. 5. From Motion to Movements : Revelations by the Infant EEG

   Author : Pär Nyström; Claes von Hofsten; Riitta Hari; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Psychology; infant; brain; EEG; mirror neurons; ERP; ICA; MNS; Psykologi;

   Abstract : The introduction of high density EEG (hd-EEG) nets for easy application on subjects of all ages has improved the possibilities to investigate the development of the infant neurophysiology. This dissertation consists of three studies (I – III) that investigate the visual motion system and mirror neuron system of the infant, and methodological sections that outline the bioelectrical background and the characteristics of the methods used.
