AI Article Synopsis
- During word recognition tasks, researchers observed different brain responses (known as stimulus-related potentials) to familiar ('old') words compared to unfamiliar ('new') words.
- These differences appeared as early as 160-190 milliseconds after seeing the words, specifically in a brain wave component called N1.
- The variations in the N1 component could indicate neural activity that's directly linked to how we recognize and remember words.
Article Abstract
During word recognition tasks, differences in the stimulus related potentials to 'old' (previously presented) and 'new' (not previously presented) words occurred as early as 160-190 ms after stimulus onset (N1) as well as in the late component of the wave forms (P3). The N1 differences may possibly reflect underlying neural activity directly related to the recognition memory process.
