Abstract:
Increasingly important to cognitive science are methods that examine neural structure and activity. In this talk, I will show how questions concerning real time language processing can be addressed using an EEG technique. Using a number of experiments spanning different issues and age groups as examples, I will discuss how EEG data are collected and analyzed in language studies. Both the strengths and limitations of such studies will be explored.
