We review the discovery, characterization, and evolving use of the N400, an event-related
brain potential response linked to meaning processing. We describe the elicitation of N400s …

Affect and cognition have long been treated as independent entities, but in the current
review we suggest that affect and cognition are in fact highly interdependent. We open the …

Semantic priming has been a focus of research in the cognitive sciences for more than thirty
years and is commonly used as a tool for investigating other aspects of perception and …

Syntactic anomalies reliably elicit P600 effects. Recent studies, however, reported P600
effects to semantic anomalies. These findings are difficult to reconcile with the common view …

Mechanisms for editing false events out of memory reports have fundamental implications
for theories of false memory and for best practice in applied domains in which false reports …

To what extent is the response to a consciously perceived word influenced by a prior word
that is unconsciously perceived? Over the past 15 years or so, there has been a renewed …

Numerous non-invasive experimental “blinding” methods exist for suppressing the
phenomenal awareness of visual stimuli. Not all of these suppressive methods occur at, and …

The ability to rapidly and systematically access knowledge stored in long‐term memory in
response to incoming sensory information—that is, to derive meaning from the world—lies at …

Masked priming has a short and somewhat controversial history. When used as a tool to
study whether semantic processing can occur in the absence of conscious awareness …

The study of implicit perception—perception in the absence of awareness—has a long
history. Decades of behavioural work have identified crucial theoretical and methodological …
