Spoken Word Segmentation in First and Second Language: When ERP and Behavioral Measures Diverge. Front Psychol 2021; 12:705668. [PMID: 34603133 PMCID: PMC8485064 DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2021.705668] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2021] [Accepted: 08/18/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Previous studies of word segmentation in a second language have yielded equivocal results. This is not surprising given the differences in the bilingual experience and proficiency of the participants and the varied experimental designs that have been used. The present study tried to account for a number of relevant variables to determine if bilingual listeners are able to use native-like word segmentation strategies. Here, 61 French-English bilingual adults who varied in L1 (French or English) and language dominance took part in an audiovisual integration task while event-related brain potentials (ERPs) were recorded. Participants listened to sentences built around ambiguous syllable strings (which could be disambiguated based on different word segmentation patterns), during which an illustration was presented on screen. Participants were asked to determine if the illustration was related to the heard utterance or not. Each participant listened to both English and French utterances, providing segmentation patterns that included both their native language (used as reference) and their L2. Interestingly, different patterns of results were observed in the event-related potentials (online) and behavioral (offline) results, suggesting that L2 participants showed signs of being able to adapt their segmentation strategies to the specifics of the L2 (online ERP results), but that the extent of the adaptation varied as a function of listeners' language experience (offline behavioral results).

Abstract
This experiment used event-related potentials (ERPs) to study the tactile-visual information conflict processing in a tactile-visual pairing task and its modulation by tactile-induced emotional states. Eighteen participants were asked to indicate whether the tactile sensation on their body matched or did not match the expected tactile sensation associated with the object depicted in an image. The type of tactile-visual stimuli (matched vs. mismatched) and the valence of tactile-induced emotional states (positive vs. negative) were manipulated following a 2 × 2 factorial design. Electrophysiological analyses revealed a mismatched minus matched negative difference component between 420 and 620 ms after stimulus onset in the negative tactile-induced emotional state condition. This ND420-620 component was considered as a sign of the cross-modal conflict processing during the processing of incongruent tactile-visual information. In contrast, no significant mismatched minus matched negative difference component was found in the positive tactile-induced emotional state condition. Together, these results support the hypothesis that a positive emotional state induced by a positive tactile stimulation improves tactile-visual conflict processing abilities.

Abstract
The functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) technique was used to investigate brain activations related to conflict control in a taste-visual cross-modal pairing task. On each trial, participants had to decide whether the taste of a gustatory stimulus matched or did not match the expected taste of the food item depicted in an image. There were four conditions: Negative match (NM; sour gustatory stimulus and image of sour food), negative mismatch (NMM; sour gustatory stimulus and image of sweet food), positive match (PM; sweet gustatory stimulus and image of sweet food), positive mismatch (PMM; sweet gustatory stimulus and image of sour food). Blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) contrasts between the NMM and the NM conditions revealed an increased activity in the middle frontal gyrus (MFG) (BA 6), the lingual gyrus (LG) (BA 18), and the postcentral gyrus. Furthermore, the NMM minus NM BOLD differences observed in the MFG were correlated with the NMM minus NM differences in response time. These activations were specifically associated with conflict control during the aversive gustatory stimulation. BOLD contrasts between the PMM and the PM condition revealed no significant positive activation, which supported the hypothesis that the human brain is especially sensitive to aversive stimuli. Altogether, these results suggest that the MFG is associated with the taste-visual cross-modal conflict control. A possible role of the LG as an information conflict detector at an early perceptual stage is further discussed, along with a possible involvement of the postcentral gyrus in the processing of the taste-visual cross-modal sensory contrast.

Abstract
The present study aimed to reveal the temporal course and electrophysiological correlates of interpersonal guilt. Human participants were asked to perform multiple rounds of a dot-estimation task with their partners, while event-related potential being recorded. The paired participants were informed that they would win money if both responded correctly; otherwise, both of them would lose money. The feeling of guilt in Self-Wrong condition (SW) was significantly higher than that in Both-Wrong and Partner-Wrong conditions. At approximately 350 ms after the onset of feedback presentation, greater negativities were observed in the frontal regions in the guilt condition (i.e., SW) than those in the non-guilt condition. The guilt-modulated frontal negativity might reflect the interactions of self-reflection, condemnation, and negative emotion.

Abstract
Event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded to explore, for the first time, the electrophysiological correlates of the taste-visual cross-modal Stroop effect. Eighteen healthy participants were presented with a taste stimulus and a food image, and asked to categorize the image as "sweet" or "sour" by pressing the relevant button as quickly as possible. Accurate categorization of the image was faster when it was presented with a congruent taste stimulus (e.g., sour taste/image of lemon) than with an incongruent one (e.g., sour taste/image of ice cream). ERP analyses revealed a negative difference component (ND430-620) between 430 and 620ms in the taste-visual cross-modal Stroop interference. Dipole source analysis of the difference wave (incongruent minus congruent) indicated that two generators localized in the prefrontal cortex and the parahippocampal gyrus contributed to this taste-visual cross-modal Stroop effect. This result suggests that the prefrontal cortex is associated with the process of conflict control in the taste-visual cross-modal Stroop effect. Also, we speculate that the parahippocampal gyrus is associated with the process of discordant information in the taste-visual cross-modal Stroop effect.

The event-related potential elicited by taste-visual cross-modal interference. Neuroscience 2011; 199:187-92.

Abstract
Sixteen healthy subjects took part in this event-related potentials (ERPs) study aimed at investigating the neural response of the taste-visual cross-modal pairing. An interference effect was observed at the behavioral level: the mismatched condition was performed more slowly than the matched condition. ERP analyses revealed a more negative component between 400 and 600 ms in the mismatched condition than in the matched condition. Dipole source analysis of the difference wave (mismatched minus matched) indicated that two generators localized in prefrontal cortex (PFC) and posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) contributed to this cross-modal interference effect. These results provided the electrophysiological evidence of interference during the extraction of taste information from memory and conflict control during the incongruent taste-visual information processing.
