Our ability to recognize tens of thousands of words is attributed to a rich lexicon in our brains, referred to as the orthographic lexicon. Understanding how this lexicon is organized in the brain is key to uncovering the neural mechanisms of visual word recognition. Event-related potentials (ERPs) are an effective tool for investigating these mechanisms. A widely observed phenomenon in orthographic processing is a 250-ms ERP difference between real words and pseudowords (or between high-frequency (HF) and low-frequency (LF) words). However, this 250-ms ERP difference has been explained by competing theories—one attributing it to the activation of the orthographic lexicon, and the other suggesting it represents a prediction error signal related to orthographic processing. To resolve this controversy, the present study uses handwritten words as control stimuli alongside printed words, as the 250-ms ERP difference is not observed with handwritten words. ERPs were obtained during an implicit reading task (color decision) for printed HF words, printed LF words, handwritten HF words, and handwritten LF words. The results show that the 250-ms ERP difference is significant when comparing printed LF words to printed HF words, handwritten LF words, and handwritten HF words. This finding indicates that the 250-ms ERP difference reflects increased neural activation to printed LF words compared to printed HF words, likely representing a prediction error signal in orthographic processing. These results support the Interactive Account of orthographic processing, clarify previous ERP findings in the literature, and underscore the potential applications of the 250-ms ERP difference (labeled as ND250) in future research.

我们之所以能够识别数以万计的单词，是因为我们的大脑中有一个丰富的词库，即正字法词库。了解大脑是如何组织这个词库的，是揭示视觉单词识别神经机制的关键。事件相关电位（ERPs）是研究这些机制的有效工具。在正字法处理过程中，一个被广泛观察到的现象是真词和假词（或高频（HF）词和低频（LF）词）之间 250 毫秒的ERP差异。然而，对这250毫秒的ERP差异有两种不同的解释--一种认为它是正字法词库激活的结果，另一种则认为它代表了与正字法加工相关的预测错误信号。为了解决这一争议，本研究将手写单词与印刷单词作为对照刺激，因为手写单词不会出现 250 毫秒的 ERP 差异。在内隐性阅读任务（颜色判定）中，对印刷高频词、印刷低频词、手写高频词和手写低频词进行了ERP测量。结果表明，在将印刷的低频字词与印刷的高频字词、手写的低频字词和手写的高频字词进行比较时，250 毫秒的 ERP 差异是显著的。这一结果表明，250 毫秒的 ERP 差异反映了与印刷高频词相比，印刷低频词的神经激活增加了，这很可能代表了正字法处理过程中的预测错误信号。这些结果支持了正字法处理的互动账户，澄清了之前文献中的ERP发现，并强调了250毫秒ERP差异（标记为ND250）在未来研究中的潜在应用。

Auditory verbal working memory (AVWM) is a crucial cognitive process that allows individuals to store and manipulate auditory information. This study investigates the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on AVWM performance using nonsense auditory syllables and examines the role of different stimulation montages. Thirty healthy participants received tDCS with three stimulation montages: anode-left auditory cortex/cathode-left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), anode-left auditory cortex/cathode-right cheek, and sham stimulation. Results showed that anodal tDCS over the left auditory cortex with concurrent cathodal stimulation over the left DLPFC improved 1-back task performance, while anodal tDCS over the left auditory cortex with cathodal stimulation over the right cheek improved both 1-back and 2-back task performance. These findings suggest that the left auditory cortex plays a critical role in AVWM and highlight the importance of considering stimulation montage in tDCS studies.

听觉言语工作记忆（AVWM）是一个重要的认知过程，它允许个体存储和操作听觉信息。本研究探讨了经颅直流电刺激（tDCS）对无义听觉音节AVWM表现的影响，并考察了不同刺激蒙太奇的作用。30名健康参与者接受了三种刺激蒙太奇的tDCS：阳极-左听觉皮层/阴极-左背外侧前额叶皮层（DLPFC）、阳极-左听觉皮层/阴极-右脸颊和假刺激。结果表明，左侧听觉皮层的阳极tDCS同时在左侧DLPFC上进行阴极刺激，可以改善1-back任务的表现；而左侧听觉皮层的阳极tDCS在右侧脸颊上进行阴极刺激，可以改善1-back和2-back任务的表现。这些发现表明，左听觉皮层在AVWM中起着关键作用，并强调了在tDCS研究中考虑刺激蒙太奇的重要性。

Social interactions are shaped by the way individuals communicate. Listeners form impressions based on how someone sounds, and the message conveyed can be interpreted differently depending on who the speaker is. We investigated on-line sentence processing focusing on the role of the speaker's gay- vs. heterosexual-sounding voice in the construction of meaning. Event-related brain potentials were recorded while participants listened to two gay- and two heterosexual-sounding male speakers uttering stereotypical sentences. We manipulated whether the sentences referred to professions stereotypically congruent or incongruent with the speakers' perceived sexual orientation. Results showed that the interplay between the speaker's voice and message content influenced sentence processing early after an incongruent stereotype was presented. The interaction was maximal at frontal sites, with a larger negativity for stereotypically-congruent than for stereotypically-incongruent professions when uttered by gay-sounding speakers. These results suggest that the perception of the speaker as gay- or straight-sounding is quickly used by listeners to build the message meaning. The inconsistency between vocal and linguistic information modulates a frontal negativity, potentially indicating control processes during sentence comprehension put in place to deal with the inconsistency.

社会互动是由个人交流的方式决定的。听者会根据一个人的声音形成印象，而所传达的信息也会因说话者的不同而有不同的理解。我们调查了在线句子加工，重点关注说话者的同性恋和异性恋声音在意义构建中的作用。当参与者听到两个听起来像同性恋和两个听起来像异性恋的男人说话时，记录下与事件相关的大脑电位。我们操纵这些句子所指的职业是否与说话者的性取向刻板一致或不一致。结果表明，说话者的声音和信息内容之间的相互作用会在不一致刻板印象出现后早期影响句子加工。当听起来像同性恋的说话者说出与刻板印象一致的职业时，这种相互作用在前额部位最大，比在刻板印象不一致的职业时产生更大的负面影响。这些结果表明，听者很快就会利用说话人听起来是同性恋还是异性恋的感觉来构建信息的含义。语音信息和语言信息之间的不一致调节了正面消极性，潜在地表明句子理解过程中的控制过程是用来处理不一致的。

This paper discusses the relationship between monitoring, control, conscious awareness, and attention in language production. Instead of focusing on a specific theory, I will examine these relationships within a framework that accommodates multiple (complementary) monitoring views, and discuss key differences between situations where competition is resolved internally vs. those that recruit external control. The takeaway message is that production performance is optimized by self-regulating monitoring-control loops, which operate largely subconsciously, but conscious awareness can be —and often is— triggered by the monitor. When triggered, in conjunction with the control system, such awareness can lead to attentional control of both the primary production process, as well as the monitoring process. I will also touch upon the repair process and its relation to these issues, and end by discussing some of the open questions as possible avenues for future research.

本文讨论了语言生产过程中监视、控制、意识和注意之间的关系。我将在一个容纳多种（互补的）监控观点的框架内检查这些关系，而不是专注于特定的理论，并讨论内部解决竞争与招募外部控制的竞争情况之间的关键区别。由此得出的结论是，生产性能是通过自我调节的监测控制循环来优化的，这种循环在很大程度上是潜意识运作的，但有意识的意识可以——而且往往是——被监视器触发的。当与控制系统一起触发时，这种意识可以导致对初级生产过程和监测过程的注意力控制。我还将触及修复过程及其与这些问题的关系，最后讨论一些开放的问题，作为未来研究的可能途径。

In this review, challenges related to the measurement of word durations in language production are identified, highlighting gaps in current theoretical frameworks and the resulting difficulty in interpreting available evidence. To compensate for limited theoretical predictions regarding response durations in spoken language, we turn to other fields, such as written production and motor control, to provide informative analogies. In written production, reliable effects on durations have been observed but the field similarly suffers from the absence of clear predictions from the available models, limiting interpretations. Since word durations are the result of motor programming and execution, evidence from motor control is particularly relevant. Recent theoretical proposals suggest that planning and execution stages overlap in time, with response planning continuing even after the initiation of the motor response, making variations in durations arise from either planning or execution processes. In addition, they propose a gating mechanism to launch response initiation. Similar dynamics could be easily assumed in language production, which could help bridge the gap from response selection to response execution and extend current models of language production to account for motor execution and predict word durations. We end by outlining pending questions for the field of language production, and some recommendations to tackle them in the future.

在这篇综述中，识别了与语言生成中单词持续时间测量相关的挑战，强调了当前理论框架中的差距以及由此导致的解释现有证据的困难。为了弥补关于口语反应持续时间的有限理论预测，我们转向其他领域，如书面生产和运动控制，以提供翔实的类比。在书面生产中，已经观察到对持续时间的可靠影响，但该领域同样受到现有模型缺乏明确预测的影响，限制了解释。由于单词持续时间是运动编程和执行的结果，来自运动控制的证据尤其相关。最近的理论建议认为，计划和执行阶段在时间上是重叠的，即使在运动反应开始后，反应计划仍在继续，这使得计划和执行过程的持续时间发生变化。此外，他们还提出了一种启动响应启动的门控机制。类似的动态可以很容易地在语言产生中假设，这可以帮助弥合从反应选择到反应执行的差距，并扩展当前的语言产生模型，以解释动作执行和预测单词持续时间。最后，我们概述了语言生成领域有待解决的问题，并提出了未来解决这些问题的一些建议。

Prior research has established a positive link between bilingualism and creativity. However, despite clear evidence for the positive role of L2 proficiency in creativity, few neuroimaging studies have provided insights into its underlying neural mechanisms. To bridge this gap, we employed a chain free association task and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to capture cortical activity in the temporo-parietal junction (TPJ) and the frontopolar cortex (FPC) during the task. Our behavioral results confirmed a positive association between L2 proficiency and creative performance. Neuroimaging data revealed that TPJ activity in bilinguals positively correlated with their creativity, while FPC activity was negatively correlated with their creativity. Furthermore, mediation analysis indicated that both TPJ and FPC activity mediated the relationship between L2 proficiency and creative performance. These preliminary findings suggest the potential involvement of both the default mode network (DMN) and the executive function network (EFN) in bilinguals’ creative cognition.

先前的研究已经确立了双语能力和创造力之间的积极联系。然而，尽管有明确的证据表明第二语言熟练度对创造力有积极作用，但很少有神经影像学研究能深入了解其潜在的神经机制。为了弥补这一空白，我们采用了一个无链关联任务和功能性近红外光谱（fNIRS）来捕捉任务期间颞顶叶交界处（TPJ）和额极皮层（FPC）的皮层活动。我们的行为结果证实了第二语言熟练程度和创造性表现之间的正相关。神经影像学数据显示，双语者TPJ活性与创造力呈正相关，FPC活性与创造力呈负相关。此外，中介分析表明TPJ和FPC活动在第二语言熟练程度和创造性表现之间都起中介作用。这些初步发现表明，默认模式网络（DMN）和执行功能网络（EFN）都可能参与双语者的创造性认知。

Although language disorders associated with the left supplementary motor area are well-known, a clear mechanism of this pathology is still not fully understood. In this study, we report the case of a right-handed patient who underwent resection of oligodendroglioma located in the right superior frontal gyrus. In the immediate postoperative period, he exhibited transient severe left hemiparesis together with complete aphasia, which both gradually improved after the 3rd postoperative day. Postoperative magnetic resonance imaging ruled out any vascular or other complications in the contralateral site related to speech disorders. After 3 months, the patient had almost fully recovered. To the best of their knowledge, the authors provide the first description of complete transient crossed aphasia associated with resection of the right supplementary motor area.

虽然与左侧辅助运动区相关的语言障碍是众所周知的，但这种病理的明确机制仍未完全了解。在这项研究中，我们报告了一例右撇子患者，他接受了位于右额上回的少突胶质细胞瘤切除术。术后即刻出现一过性严重左偏瘫并完全性失语，术后第3天逐渐好转。术后磁共振成像排除了任何与语言障碍相关的对侧血管或其他并发症。3个月后，患者几乎完全康复。据他们所知，作者提供了第一个描述完整的短暂性交叉失语症与切除右侧辅助运动区。

Acting on the world requires the right action at the right time. This is perhaps most easily seen in music where the meaning of a piece is encoded explicitly by both the pitches of musical notes and their duration. We used these features to operationalise the production of desired qualia of movements as note pitches as compared to movement timing as note durations. Participants listened to and imitated simple melodies as accurately as possible while lying in an ultra-high field 7T MRI scanner. Melodies consisted of either a series of different pitches of equal duration or a single pitch repeated at different durations. Both tasks engaged a broad motor network similar to speech and other complex dynamic movements. However, imitation for timing preferentially activated the ventral striatum of the basal ganglia while imitation for pitch preferentially activated lobule VI of the cerebellum and temporal lobe auditory association areas. These findings are consistent with the role of the basal ganglia in sound sequence learning and with the role of the cerebellum in refining movement based on sensory feedback. Imitating melodies provides a simple but effective framework for manipulating the qualities and timings of sound production by the speech-motor system, even when no words are spoken.

对世界采取行动需要在正确的时间采取正确的行动。这也许在音乐中最容易看到，在音乐中，一个作品的意义是由音符的音高和它们的持续时间明确编码的。我们使用这些特征来操作生产所需的运动音质作为音符音高，而不是作为音符持续时间的运动定时。参与者躺在超高场7T核磁共振扫描仪中，尽可能准确地听和模仿简单的旋律。旋律由一系列相同持续时间的不同音高或以不同持续时间重复的单一音高组成。这两项任务都涉及广泛的运动网络，类似于语言和其他复杂的动态运动。然而，模仿时间优先激活基底节区腹侧纹状体，而模仿音高优先激活小脑第六小叶和颞叶听觉关联区。这些发现与基底神经节在声音序列学习中的作用以及小脑在基于感觉反馈的运动优化中的作用是一致的。模仿旋律提供了一个简单而有效的框架，通过语言运动系统操纵声音产生的质量和时间，即使没有说话。

Does a long-term stay in a foreign language country affect word retrieval in our native language? And if so, are the effects reversible? The present study explored the neural correlates of single-word production in the native language and their dynamics due to two types of changes in the language environment: long-term immersion in a foreign language (L2) environment and short-term reimmersion in a native language (L1) environment. We tested Polish-English migrants living in the UK (L2 environment) for an average of ten years and Polish-English controls living in Poland (L1 environment). All participants performed an L1 picture-naming task while we recorded their electrophysiological responses. The migrants were tested before and after visiting the L1 environment, while the controls were tested twice in their L1 environment. Our focus was on two event-related components previously associated with the ease of lexical access: P2 and N300. We found no modulations related to N300, but some in the P2 time window, although their distribution was more frontal than previously reported. There was no main effect of the long-term immersion in the L2 environment, suggesting that the effectiveness of producing words in L1 was similar across the two groups. However, the short-term change in the language environment modulated the early positivity in migrants: smaller frontal positivity was reported in response to picture naming after the short reimmersion in the L1 environment than during the L2 immersion. These results indicate that the short-term changes in the language environment induce modulations in the neural response, which may reflect higher proactive control applied in L1 production during L2 immersion and its reduction after short-term L1 immersion.

长期呆在外语国家会影响我们用母语检索单词吗？如果是这样，这些影响是否可逆？本研究探讨了长期沉浸在外语（L2）环境和短期再沉浸在母语（L1）环境中两种语言环境变化对母语单字生成的神经关联及其动态影响。我们测试了生活在英国（L2环境）的波兰-英语移民平均10年，以及生活在波兰（L1环境）的波兰-英语对照。所有参与者都完成了L1图片命名任务，同时我们记录了他们的电生理反应。迁移者在访问第一语言环境之前和之后分别接受了测试，而对照组在他们的第一语言环境中接受了两次测试。我们的重点是两个与事件相关的组件：P2和N300。我们没有发现与N300相关的调制，但在P2时间窗中发现了一些调制，尽管它们的分布比以前报道的更为正面。长期沉浸在第二语言环境中没有主要影响，这表明在两组中产生第一语言单词的效果是相似的。然而，语言环境的短期变化调节了移民的早期积极性：在短暂的再浸入L1环境后，对图片命名的反应的额叶积极性比在浸入L2环境时要小。这些结果表明，语言环境的短期变化诱导了神经反应的调节，这可能反映了在第二语言浸入过程中对母语产生的主动控制增强，而在短期L1浸入后这种主动控制减弱。

The migrants were tested before and after visiting the L1 environment, while the controls were tested twice in their L1 environment. Our focus was on two event-related components previously associated with the ease of lexical access: P2 and N300. We found no modulations related to N300, but some in the P2 time window, although their distribution was more frontal than previously reported. There was no main effect of the long-term immersion in the L2 environment, suggesting that the effectiveness of producing words in L1 was similar across the two groups. However, the short-term change in the language environment modulated the early positivity in migrants: smaller frontal positivity was reported in response to picture naming after the short reimmersion in the L1 environment than during the L2 immersion. These results indicate that the short-term changes in the language environment induce modulations in the neural response, which may reflect higher proactive control applied in L1 production during L2 immersion and its reduction after short-term L1 immersion.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50118,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Neurolinguistics","volume":"74 ","pages":"Article 101242"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143177070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study used event-related potentials (ERPs) to investigate and compare the temporal dynamics of cross-linguistic lexical-semantic activation during English written and spoken word recognition in unbalanced Chinese (L1)-English (L2) bilinguals. Participants were tested in a L1-L2 translation recognition task, where L1 words were visually presented and L2 words were visually or auditorily presented. The ERP results revealed that, relative to the non-translation equivalents, the translation equivalents elicited a more negative N200 amplitude (100–300 ms, i.e., N200 enhancement effect) regardless of modalities. Furthermore, the ERP translation priming effects (i.e., less negative or more positive ERP waveforms) were observed in the 300-600-ms time period for within-modal presentation and 400-1000-ms time period for cross-modal presentation. The early N200 enhancement effects reflected a cross-linguistic whole-word orthographic activation during L2 written and spoken word processing and demonstrated a bidirectional interactive link between the L1 and L2 lexical representations, which was not modulated by the change of processing modality. The late ERP priming effects reflected the cross-linguistic lexical-semantic activation and integration processes at later stages. Additionally, the lexical-semantic link of within-modal L1-L2 word pairs was more robust than that of cross-modal pairs, as reflected by larger ERP priming effects in the typical N400 time period (300–500 ms). In contrast, bilinguals might need additional cognitive resources to integrate the lexical-semantic information of cross-modal word pairs, as reflected by larger ERP priming effects in the LPC time period (600–900 ms).

本研究利用事件相关电位（ERPs）研究并比较了非平衡汉语-英语双语者在英语书面和口语单词识别过程中跨语言词汇-语义激活的时间动态。参与者在L1-L2翻译识别任务中进行测试，其中L1单词被视觉呈现，L2单词被视觉或听觉呈现。ERP结果显示，无论何种方式，相对于非翻译等效物，翻译等效物引发了更负的N200振幅（100-300 ms，即N200增强效应）。此外，在模态内呈现的300-600 ms和跨模态呈现的400-1000 ms时间内，观察到ERP的翻译启动效应（即负ERP波形较少或正ERP波形较多）。早期的N200增强效应反映了在二语书面和口语词汇加工过程中跨语言的全词正字法激活，并表明母语和二语词汇表征之间存在双向交互联系，这种联系不受加工方式变化的调节。后期ERP启动效应反映了后期跨语言词汇语义激活和整合过程。此外，模态内词对的词汇语义联系比跨模态词对更强，这在典型的N400时间段（300-500 ms）表现为更大的ERP启动效应。相比之下，双语者可能需要额外的认知资源来整合跨模态词对的词汇语义信息，这反映在LPC时段（600-900 ms）更大的ERP启动效应上。
