Table 1.
Design and stimulus examples for all four critical conditions are given in Chinese, with English glosses and translations.
Table 2.
The overall analyses of variance for three time windows (in milliseconds) (N = 32).
Fig 1.
ERPs time locked to the onset of the critical words for all 32 participants.
(a) Grand average ERPs for all four critical conditions at nine scalp sites; epoch from 200 ms before to 1000 ms after the onset of the critical words. In this figure, the onset of the critical words is at 0 ms, negativity is plotted upwards, and waveforms are filtered (15 Hz low pass, 24 dB/oct). (b) The scalp topographies of the two difference waves in the time windows of N400 and P600.
Fig 2.
The results of the cluster-based permutation tests to compare the consistency effect of different pronoun types.
(a) Difference waves and topography for Nin inconsistent minus Nin consistent. The asterisks in the topography indicate the electrodes that the difference between the two conditions reaches significance. (b) Difference waves and topography for Ni inconsistent minus Ni consistent.
