Fig 1.
Sentence presentation procedure.
Sentences were presented character by character in the center of the screen, flanked by the previous character to the left and the subsequent character to the right. The context verb was either congruent (picked) or incongruent (captured) with the critical noun (melons) in the sentence. Participants were asked to keep their gaze fixated on the central character and to judge the plausibility of the sentence.

Forty recorded electrodes and 8 AOIs for ANOVA.
ANT, anterior; CEN, central; POS, posterior; L, left hemisphere; R, right hemisphere.

Average EEG waveforms from the onset of the critical triads up to 1200 ms thereafter for congruent condition (black line) and incongruent condition (red line) at 8 representative electrodes, one for each AOI. Negativity is plotted upwards.

Scalp distributions in the analyzed time window.
300~500 ms was the N400 time window evoked by the critical triads and 800~1000 ms was the N400 time window evoked by the post-critical triads.
