The Neurovisceral Integration Model and the Vagal Tank Theory propose that cardiac vagal activity (CVA) changes dynamically in response to self-regulatory demands, yet empirical support remains limited. In Study 1, state anxiety was induced using the Velten mood induction procedure, followed by a 2-min emotional incubation period. CVA—indexed by vagally mediated heart rate variability (vmHRV), specifically high-frequency (HF) component and root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD)—was quantified from electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings during resting, anxiety induction, and recovery phases. Based on findings from Study 1, Study 2 implemented a 10-day HRV biofeedback intervention in healthy college students to evaluate its effects on tonic and phasic CVA. The protocol involves slow-paced breathing (SPB) to enhance cardiorespiratory coupling and modulate vmHRV, with real-time feedback generated from respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA)-related heart rate fluctuations. Results showed that CVA during anxiety was significantly higher than during both resting and recovery phases. Additionally, resting CVA was positively correlated with phasic CVA, including both reactivity and recovery. Following biofeedback training, phasic CVA—comprising reactivity and recovery—significantly increased. These findings indicate that CVA increases during emotional regulation, and higher resting CVA facilitates more adaptive vagal responses. Moreover, short-term biofeedback training appears to enhance regulatory capacity under conditions of state anxiety by modulating CVA. Together, this study offers empirical support for both the Neurovisceral Integration Model and the Vagal Tank Theory.

神经内脏整合模型和迷走神经罐理论提出心脏迷走神经活动（CVA）在自我调节需求下动态变化，但经验支持仍然有限。在研究1中，使用Velten情绪诱导程序诱导状态焦虑，然后进行2分钟的情绪潜伏期。cva是由迷走神经介导的心率变异性（vmHRV），特别是高频（HF）分量和连续差的均方根（RMSSD）指标指标，通过静息、焦虑诱导和恢复阶段的心电图（ECG）记录进行量化。在研究1的基础上，研究2在健康大学生中实施了为期10天的HRV生物反馈干预，以评估其对强力性和阶段性CVA的影响。该方案包括慢节奏呼吸（SPB），以增强心肺耦合和调节vmHRV，并从呼吸窦性心律失常（RSA）相关的心率波动产生实时反馈。结果显示，焦虑期CVA显著高于休息和恢复期。此外，静止CVA与相性CVA呈正相关，包括反应性和恢复。生物反馈训练后，阶段性cva（包括反应性和恢复）显著增加。这些发现表明，CVA在情绪调节过程中增加，而静息CVA的增加促进了更多的适应性迷走神经反应。此外，短期生物反馈训练似乎通过调节CVA来增强状态焦虑条件下的调节能力。总之，本研究为神经内脏整合模型和迷走神经罐理论提供了实证支持。

Sustaining attention is a key ability not only for adults in contexts such as driving or monitoring systems, but also for children in educational settings, where it is closely linked to long-term academic achievement. The present study aimed to develop an EEG-based measure of vigilance during a sustained attention task and to use it to identify distinct trajectories of vigilance over time in a sample of children with and without ADHD.

The measure was developed using multiple regression and captures time-on-task-related changes in the EEG power spectrum. In typically developing children, it is characterized by an increase in theta, alpha and beta activity and a decrease in gamma activity over time. A k-means cluster analysis identified distinct vigilance trajectories, and the corresponding subgroups of children differed both in various performance metrics and in the number of ADHD symptoms. The normative pattern, characterized by a steadily rising trajectory over time, was associated with better performance, whereas atypical patterns showing pronounced declines either early or late in the task were linked to comparatively weaker performance.

The identified vigilance profiles point to different mechanisms of sustained attention regulation in children and may help to detect these differences at the individual level, thereby paving the way for personalized interventions.

保持注意力是一项关键能力，不仅适用于驾驶或监控系统等环境中的成年人，也适用于教育环境中的儿童，因为它与长期学业成绩密切相关。本研究旨在开发一种在持续注意力任务中基于脑电图的警觉性测量方法，并使用它来识别患有和非ADHD儿童样本中不同的警觉性轨迹。该方法采用多元回归方法，捕捉脑电功率谱中与任务时间相关的变化。在正常发育的儿童中，随着时间的推移，它的特征是theta， alpha和beta活动增加，gamma活动减少。k-均值聚类分析确定了不同的警觉性轨迹，相应的儿童亚组在各种表现指标和ADHD症状的数量上都存在差异。随着时间的推移，以稳定上升轨迹为特征的标准模式与更好的表现有关，而在任务的早期或后期表现出明显下降的非典型模式与相对较弱的表现有关。已确定的警惕性特征指出了儿童持续注意力调节的不同机制，并可能有助于在个体水平上发现这些差异，从而为个性化干预铺平道路。

The sensitivity of psychophysiological measures to changes in mental workload 生理指标对心理负荷变化的敏感性。

Mental Workload (MWL) quantifies the subjectively experienced mental strain imposed by any task and poses interesting avenues in machine or system optimization. Thus, the psychophysiological measurement of MWL has been of large interest, but despite multiple decades of research, sensitivity to changes in MWL remains inconclusive (Ayres et al., 2021; Charles & Nixon, 2019; Tao et al., 2019). This study therefore re-evaluates sensitivity of six psychophysiological measures to changes in MWL, namely in their ability to distinguish levels of MWL. With increasing MWL, heart rate (HR), blink rate (BR), pupil dilation (PD), skin conductance responses (SCR), and skin conductance level (SCL) were expected to increase, whereas heart rate variability (HRV) was expected to decrease. For MWL induction, an adaptation of the Swaps task (Stankov & Crawford, 1993) was employed, with the aim of inducing four distinct levels of demand. MWL manipulation was successful, as in the sample of 74 university students response times significantly increased with each level, while accuracy decreased. Subjective ratings of MWL in the NASA-Task Load Index (Hart & Staveland, 1988) reflected this pattern. BR and PD were highly sensitive, increasing with each level, while HR and HRV were sensitive but less able to differentiate fine-grained changes, with the inability being more pronounced for HRV. SCR were sufficiently sensitive, except for very high levels, and SCL showed no sensitivity. These findings provide further basis for research and application of psychophysiological responses to MWL, to represent task demands more comprehensively as well as mental strain in machine-operator relations.

精神负荷（MWL）量化了任何任务所施加的主观经历的精神压力，并为机器或系统优化提供了有趣的途径。因此，MWL的生理测量一直备受关注，但尽管经过数十年的研究，对MWL变化的敏感性仍然没有定论（Ayres等人，2021;Charles & Nixon, 2019； Tao等人，2019）。因此，本研究重新评估了六种生理指标对MWL变化的敏感性，即它们区分MWL水平的能力。随着MWL的增加，心率（HR）、眨眼频率（BR）、瞳孔扩张（PD）、皮肤电导反应（SCR）和皮肤电导水平（SCL）预计会增加，而心率变异性（HRV）预计会降低。对于MWL诱导，采用了对互换任务（Stankov & Crawford, 1993）的改编，目的是诱导四个不同的需求水平。在74名大学生的样本中，MWL操作是成功的，反应时间随着水平的提高而显著增加，而准确性则下降。NASA-Task Load Index （Hart & Staveland, 1988）对MWL的主观评分反映了这种模式。BR和PD高度敏感，随水平的增加而增加，HR和HRV敏感但不能区分细粒度的变化，HRV的无能更为明显。除了非常高的水平外，SCR是足够敏感的，而SCL则没有敏感性。这些发现为MWL生理反应的研究和应用提供了进一步的基础，更全面地反映任务需求，以及机器-操作员关系中的精神紧张。

Objective

Amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) is characterized by episodic memory deficits and is defined as the prodromal phase of Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, it is critical to reveal the dysfunction in large-scale networks during the dementia phase of the disease. This study aimed to examine the resting-state functional connectivity changes between aMCI and healthy control groups.

Methods

MRI and clinical data from 25 individuals with aMCI and 25 healthy controls (HC) were used. Seed-to-seed functional connectivity analyses were performed between all histologically classified Brodmann areas using the CONN toolkit. False Discovery Rate (FDR) correction was used to correct for multiple comparisons, and the significance threshold was set at p_FDR-corr < 0.05.

Results

We found that, compared to HC, the aMCI group showed reduced functional connectivity between BA7 and both bilateral BA33 and right BA32, and these reductions were positively correlated with memory decline.

Conclusion

Our study suggests that the connectivity between the precuneus (BA7) and anterior cingulate cortex (BA32–33) is affected in the prodromal stage of Alzheimer's disease dementia. Investigating intrinsic functional connectivity changes between distant anatomical regions by using histological atlases might be useful for investigating the progress of dementia.

目的：遗忘性轻度认知障碍（aMCI）以情景记忆缺陷为特征，被定义为阿尔茨海默病的前驱期。因此，揭示痴呆症痴呆期大范围网络的功能障碍是至关重要的。本研究旨在探讨aMCI与健康对照组之间静息状态功能连通性的变化。方法：采用25例aMCI患者和25例健康对照（HC）的MRI和临床资料。使用CONN工具包在所有组织学分类的Brodmann区域之间进行种子到种子的功能连接分析。错误发现率（False Discovery Rate， FDR）校正用于校正多重比较，显著性阈值设置为pFDR-corr 结果：我们发现，与HC相比，aMCI组BA7与双侧BA33和右侧BA32之间的功能连接减少，并且这些减少与记忆衰退呈正相关。结论：本研究提示阿尔茨海默病痴呆前驱期楔前叶（BA7）与前扣带皮层（BA32-33）之间的连通性受到影响。利用组织学图谱研究遥远解剖区域间的内在功能连通性变化可能有助于研究痴呆的进展。

Effects of target probability on motor preparation and execution 目标概率对运动准备和执行的影响。

The aim of the present study was to assess the effects of motor target probability on the associations between pro-active motor preparation as reflected by negative slow potentials (NSPs), motor execution as reflected by response-related potentials (RRPs), and performance monitoring as reflected by correct response negativity (Nc). It was hypothesized that if ongoing increases/decreases in preparation induced by target expectation modulate motor execution and monitoring, there would be an association between the effects of motor target probability on NSPs and RRPs/Nc.

Electroencephalographic (EEG) signals were recorded in young adults while they produced simultaneous responses with the two hands to Go trials in auditory Go/NoGo tasks with different target probabilities (P = 0.15, P = 0.50, and P = 0.85). NSPs and RRPs were analyzed at the midline and bilateral motor regions. Nc was analyzed at medial frontal electrodes.

It was found that the effects of probability on NSPs were lateralized: At the left motor cortex NSPs were expressed for the low and high probabilities, mirroring response speeding, whereas at the right motor region NSPs were not pronounced for higher (P = 0.50 and P = 0.85) probabilities. Bi-lateral RRPs were larger for low- than equal- and high-probability targets and correlated positively with left-hemisphere NSPs but negatively with right-hemisphere NSPs. Nc did not depend on target probability.

The lateral and functional NSP/RRP asymmetry and their correlations suggest that the interaction between movement preparation and execution is modulated by hemispheric specialization in motor control such that movement execution in enhanced inhibition context is potentiated by the left hemisphere, and movement execution in response generation context is controlled by proactive inhibition in the right hemisphere. The effects of target probability on performance monitoring are not clearly demonstrated by Nc analysis in Go/NoGo tasks.

本研究的目的是评估运动目标概率对负慢电位（NSPs）反映的主动运动准备、反应相关电位（rrp）反映的运动执行和正确反应负性（Nc）反映的表现监测之间的关联的影响。假设如果目标预期引起的准备的持续增加/减少调节运动执行和监测，那么运动目标概率对nsp和rrp /Nc的影响之间存在关联。在不同目标概率的听性Go/NoGo任务中，记录年轻人双手同时做出反应的脑电图（EEG）信号（P = 0.15,P = 0.50,P = 0.85）。在中线和双侧运动区分析nsp和rrp。在内侧额电极处分析Nc。结果发现，概率对NSPs的影响是横向的：在左侧运动皮层，NSPs在低概率和高概率下表达，反映了反应速度，而在右侧运动区域，NSPs在高概率下不表达（P = 0.50和P = 0.85）。双侧rrp在低概率靶点比等概率靶点和高概率靶点更大，与左半球NSPs呈正相关，与右半球NSPs负相关。Nc不依赖于目标概率。NSP/RRP的横向和功能性不对称及其相关性表明，运动准备和执行之间的相互作用是由运动控制的半球特化调节的，因此，在增强抑制环境下的运动执行由左半球加强，而在反应产生环境下的运动执行由右半球的主动抑制控制。在Go/NoGo任务的Nc分析中，目标概率对性能监测的影响并没有得到明确的证明。

Psychophysiological research requires choices at every stage, from theory and construct definition to task design, preprocessing, and statistical modeling. Because many of these choices are defensible, a single research question can yield a range of plausible results, complicating inference, transparency, and replicability. This special issue showcases how multiverse analyses can systematically evaluate reasonable alternatives and their influence on outcomes in psychophysiology. Multiverse analyses treat datasets as one possible outcome among many, mapping how decisions shape effect estimates and subsequent inferences. This special issue illustrates multiverse thinking across four domains: (1) hypothesis and construct operationalization, including comparisons of contradictory theoretical accounts and alternative psychophysiological indices; (2) experimental design and task selection, clarifying when effects generalize across paradigms versus depend on task context; (3) data processing pipelines, highlighting which preprocessing steps impact data quality and which are comparatively benign; and (4) statistical models, testing the stability of findings across analytic specifications. Collectively, these contributions provide practical guidance for planning, executing, and transparently reporting multiverse analyses in psychophysiology. This introduction to the special issue offers a roadmap for integrating conceptual and analytic multiverses, emphasizing principled decision making, explicit justification of alternatives, and weighting evidence across analyses.

心理生理学研究需要在每个阶段进行选择，从理论和构造定义到任务设计、预处理和统计建模。因为这些选择中的许多都是站得住的，一个单一的研究问题可以产生一系列似是而非的结果，使推理复杂化，透明度和可复制性。本期特刊展示了多元宇宙分析如何系统地评估合理的选择及其对心理生理学结果的影响。多元宇宙分析将数据集视为众多可能结果中的一种，绘制决策如何影响影响估计和随后的推论。这期特刊从四个方面阐述了多元宇宙思维：(1)假设和构造操作化，包括比较相互矛盾的理论解释和不同的心理生理指标；(2)实验设计和任务选择，澄清效应是跨范式的还是依赖于任务情境的；(3)数据处理管道，突出显示哪些预处理步骤会影响数据质量，哪些相对良性；(4)统计模型，检验各分析规范结果的稳定性。总的来说，这些贡献为计划、执行和透明地报告心理生理学中的多元宇宙分析提供了实用指导。这篇特刊的介绍为整合概念和分析的多元宇宙提供了一个路线图，强调原则性的决策制定，明确的替代理由，以及在分析中权衡证据。通过分析，从研究概念出发，采用多元宇宙视角，可以提高理论精度，识别脆弱或稳健效应，调和文献差异，提高可重复性。多元宇宙实践最终可以增强心理生理科学的健壮性、严谨性和可解释性，并支持累积知识的建立。由于心理生理学数据本质上是复杂和多方面的，研究人员在进行心理生理学研究时必须进行广泛的决策。选择出现在每个阶段——从定义任务参数和选择心理生理成分，到确定预处理管道和统计分析。因此，单个研究问题可以通过许多合理的研究设计和分析方法进行测试，每个研究设计和分析方法可能产生不同的结果（Clayson, 2024； Gelman和Loken， 2014）。大量同样站得住脚的选择会让人感到不知所措。这使得评估可复制性的工作变得复杂，并且当研究结果不同时，解释研究结果变得具有挑战性。本期特刊展示了通过使用多元宇宙分析直接解决这些挑战的文章。多元宇宙分析通过系统地检查实验和分析灵活性的影响，为解决心理生理学研究人员面临的无数决策提供了一个强大的框架。多元宇宙分析是指应用一系列合理的分析来研究一种现象（Harder, 2020; Steegen et al., 2016），强调不同的决策如何影响研究结果。多元宇宙方法不是将数据视为产生一个确定的结果，而是认识到原始数据可以导致许多可能的数据集和结果，这取决于分析过程中的选择（Steegen et al., 2016）。通过应用一系列合理的决策，研究人员可以评估其发现的稳健性，确定哪些方法选择会对结果产生有意义的影响，并提高报告的透明度（Harder, 2020； Steegen等人，2016）。鉴于其工作流程中嵌入的决策点的绝对数量，心理生理学研究特别适合于多元宇宙分析（Clayson, 2024）。例如，研究人员必须决定哪种心理生理学方法或反应最能操作他们感兴趣的结构，哪种任务设计最有效地引出该反应，以及如何建立和实现数据处理管道。然后，即使在单一的“最终”数据集中，不同的统计分析决策也可以产生可能结果的“多元宇宙”（cred和菲利普斯，2017；Steegen等人，2016）。本期特刊强调了多元宇宙分析在心理生理学研究中的多功能性、优点和成功。在假设和构造操作化、实验设计和任务选择、数据预处理和统计建模等领域，本文展示了多元宇宙视角如何增强心理生理科学的可靠性、可重复性和可解释性。

Chronotype, the individual predisposition toward morningness or eveningness, is associated with behavioral and emotion regulation traits such as impulsivity, reward sensitivity, and self-control. However, the extent to which it modulates risky decision-making and neural feedback processing remains unclear. This study examined behavioral (percentage of risky choices and reaction time (RT)) and electrophysiological (feedback-related negativity (FRN) and P300 components) differences in risky choices and feedback evaluation individual differences in chronotypes. Chronotype was determined using the Morningness–Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ) and Munich Chronotype Questionnaire (MCTQ). 39 Participants (20 morning-types, 19 evening-types; aged 18–31) completed a modified monetary gambling task during EEG recording. Behaviorally, evening-types made more risky choices than morning-types, particularly after gain-correct and loss-error feedback. They also responded faster overall, with the most pronounced RT reductions after error feedback, suggesting diminished post-error slowing and greater impulsivity. Electrophysiologically, FRN amplitudes were attenuated in evening-types, especially in gain-correct and loss-error conditions. FRN amplitudes correlated with both MEQ and MCTQ scores, indicating that greater eveningness was associated with reduced neural sensitivity to outcome feedback. In contrast, no significant group differences emerged for P300 amplitudes, although both groups showed enhanced P300 responses to gain-correct outcomes, reflecting feedback salience. These findings suggest that chronotype is linked to distinct behavioral and neural profiles in risky decision-making. Eveningness is characterized by greater impulsivity, risk preference, and attenuated feedback monitoring, which may increase vulnerability to maladaptive risky decision-making in real-world contexts.

时间型，即个人倾向于早起或晚起，与行为和情绪调节特征有关，如冲动、奖励敏感性和自我控制。然而，它在多大程度上调节风险决策和神经反馈处理仍不清楚。本研究考察了风险选择的行为差异（风险选择百分比和反应时间（RT））和电生理差异（反馈相关负性（FRN）和P300成分）以及反馈评估个体在时型上的差异。时间类型采用早晚性问卷（MEQ）和慕尼黑时间类型问卷（MCTQ）确定。39名参与者（20名早晨型，19名晚上型，年龄18-31岁）在EEG记录期间完成了修改后的货币赌博任务。从行为上看，夜猫子比早起的人做出了更冒险的选择，尤其是在获得正确和损失错误反馈之后。总的来说，他们的反应速度也更快，在错误反馈后，RT的减少最为明显，这表明错误后的反应速度减慢了，冲动更大了。电生理学上，频响波幅值在夜间类型中衰减，特别是在增益校正和损耗误差条件下。FRN振幅与MEQ和MCTQ评分相关，表明更大的均匀性与神经对结果反馈的敏感度降低有关。相比之下，P300振幅没有显著的组间差异，尽管两组对获得正确结果的P300反应都有所增强，这反映了反馈显著性。这些发现表明，时间类型与风险决策中不同的行为和神经特征有关。均匀性的特点是更大的冲动性、风险偏好和减弱的反馈监控，这可能会增加现实环境中风险决策不适应的脆弱性。

It is widely understood that declarative memory and emotion are interconnected, although they are differentially affected by aging. However, the contributions of various aspects of physiological arousal to emotional memory, as well as the roles of valence and age in these relationships, remain unknown. This study aimed to understand the relationship between various aspects of physiological arousal and memory in younger and older adults by examining phasic and tonic skin conductance activity during an emotional verbal learning task. We recruited 26 younger adults (aged 18–35) and 24 older adults (aged 55–89), asking them to encode and recall a list of positive, negative, and neutral words across three learning trials while their skin conductance activity was measured, and to recall the words again after 10 min. We found that both groups recalled more positive and negative words than neutral words in the delayed recall trial. A positive valence effect on memory specific to the encoding phase also emerged, which aligned with a significant phasic skin conductance response (SCR) to positive words. The phasic SCR while encoding positive words predicted the subsequent recall of positive words, while tonic skin conductance level, which was lower in older adults, predicted retention of negative words after the 10-minute delay. These findings suggest that physiological arousal during encoding predicts subsequent emotional memory across different ages, with phasic and tonic arousal making the greatest contributions to positive and negative memories, respectively. Age may differentially influence tonic arousal, which affects memory, particularly for negative stimuli.

人们普遍认为陈述性记忆和情绪是相互联系的，尽管它们受年龄的影响不同。然而，生理唤起对情绪记忆的各个方面的贡献，以及效价和年龄在这些关系中的作用，仍然未知。本研究旨在通过研究情绪性言语学习任务中皮肤电导活动的相位性和紧张性，了解年轻人和老年人生理唤醒与记忆之间的关系。我们招募了26名年轻人（18-35岁）和24名老年人（55-89岁），要求他们在三个学习试验中编码和回忆一系列积极的、消极的和中性的单词，同时测量他们的皮肤电导活动，并在10分钟后再次回忆这些单词。我们发现，在延迟回忆试验中，两组人都能回忆起更多的积极词汇和消极词汇。编码阶段对记忆的正效价效应也出现了，这与对积极词汇的显著相性皮肤电导反应（SCR）一致。编码积极词汇时的相位SCR预测了随后对积极词汇的回忆，而老年人皮肤电导水平较低，预测了10分钟后对消极词汇的记忆。这些发现表明，编码过程中的生理唤醒预测了不同年龄段的情绪记忆，其中，相位唤醒和紧张性唤醒分别对积极记忆和消极记忆贡献最大。年龄对滋补性唤醒的影响可能不同，滋补性唤醒会影响记忆，尤其是负面刺激。

This study investigated the electrophysiological correlates of the impact of within- and cross-language lexical-semantic information on the way to forward and backward translation articulation in unbalanced Chinese-English bilinguals. Participants were tasked with a bilingual flanker paradigm, in which the language congruency (congruent vs. incongruent) and semantic relatedness (i.e., semantically related vs. unrelated vs. identical) between the targets and flankers were manipulated, and the behavioral and event-related potentials (ERPs) data were measured to track the relative contributions of these two variables. Behavioral data revealed faster response time and higher error rate for forward than for backward translation. Additionally, bilinguals exhibited a higher error rate and slower response time for congruent than for incongruent contexts. Furthermore, ERP data revealed that both forward and backward translation processes were impacted by the cross-language (incongruent) lexical information of the semantically identical flanker words, as reflected by the modulation of the P200 (150–300 ms) component. Meanwhile, the forward and backward translation processes benefited from the semantic representation of Chinese flanker words, as reflected by less negative N400 (300–600 ms) amplitudes for semantically identical condition than for unrelated control. More importantly, the activation induced by Chinese flankers also interactively spread to the semantically related categories, as reflected by less negative N400 amplitudes for related condition than for unrelated control. Meanwhile, identical condition also elicited less negative N400 amplitudes than unrelated controls regardless of translation directions when the flankers were English words. These findings were interpreted in the framework of the Multilink model, according to which translation articulation involves both within- and cross-language lexical-semantic activation regardless of translation directions, and the above processes are modulated by language contexts.

本研究探讨了内语和跨语词汇语义信息对不平衡汉英双语者前后翻译发音方式影响的电生理机制。被试采用双语侧卫范式，对被试和侧卫之间的语言一致性（一致vs不一致）和语义相关性（即语义相关vs不相关vs相同）进行控制，并测量行为和事件相关电位（erp）数据，以追踪这两个变量的相对贡献。行为数据显示，正向翻译比反向翻译的响应时间更快，错误率更高。此外，双语者对一致语境的错误率高于对不一致语境的错误率和反应时间。此外，ERP数据显示，前向和后向翻译过程都受到语义相同的侧边词的跨语言（不一致）词汇信息的影响，这反映在P200（150-300 ms）分量的调制上。同时，正向和反向翻译过程受益于汉语侧边词的语义表征，语义相同条件下的负N400（300-600 ms）振幅小于不相关条件下的负N400。更重要的是，汉语侧读诱发的激活也交互地传播到语义相关的类别，相关条件的负N400振幅小于不相关条件。与此同时，无论翻译方向如何，当侧边为英语单词时，相同条件下的N400负向振幅也低于不相关对照。这些发现是在多链接模型的框架下解释的，根据该模型，无论翻译方向如何，翻译发音都涉及语言内和跨语言的词汇语义激活，并且上述过程受语言语境的调节。
