Abstract
The late positive component of the evoked potential (LPC) and the contingent negative variation (CNV) have been investigated with visual and acoustic stimuli by many researchers studying linguistic processing. CNVs were investigated during word category discrimination by Burian et al. (1972). LPCs were studied during information processing in sentences by Friedman et al. (1975) and during semantic information processing of words by Thatcher and April (1976). Different lateralization for noun- and verb-evoked EEG scalp potential fields was reported by Brown and Lehmann (1977). Both Burian and Thatcher tried to apply ERPs evoked by words in testing aphasic patients. We studied CNV and LPC during processing of linguistic information to find out if ERPs can be useful for testing the recognition of Japanese sentences and words.
