Wrong or right? Brain potentials reveal hemispheric asymmetries to semantic relations during word-by-word sentence reading as a function of (fictional) knowledge
2022, NeuropsychologiaCitation Excerpt :If fictional categories from HP (e.g., balls used in Quidditch or names of magical school classes) also engender a set of semantic features that are pre-activated by HP experts, then LH related anomaly effects might be observed for categorically related anomalies. By contrast, in Metusalem et al. (2016), event-related anomaly (e.g., boots in a scenario describing a hiking event) effects were restricted to the RH, consistent with RH involvement in elaborative inferencing (Beeman et al., 2000). Metusalem et al. interpreted their findings as consonant with a RH bias for integrating incoming words not only with message-level information, but also with the ongoing situation model, expanding a proposal by Federmeier (2007) that the LH is relatively more predictive while the RH is relatively more integrative.
