{ "pk": 25758, "title": "Exploring the processing costs of the exactly and at least readings of bare numerals\nwith event-related brain potentials", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Bare numerals (e.g. two) seem to be ambiguous between two\nreadings: the exactly and the at least reading. We present an\nERP study that explores this issue. We show that the pattern\nof the ERPs elicited by critical nouns in sentences with unembedded\nbare numerals depends on the participant’s choice\nof the reading of the numeral. For those responders who consistently\napply the exactly reading in their truth-value judgement,\nsentences that are true only under the at least reading\nare associated with a sustained negativity effect compared to\nsentences that are true also under the exactly reading. However,\nno such effect is evident for the responders who apply\nthe at least interpretation. We argue that this result falsifies\nthe exactly-theory of numerals and speaks in favor of the ambiguity\naccount.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "bare numerals; at least reading;\nexactly reading; truth-value judgment; N400 effect; sustained\nanterior negativity" } ], "section": "Papers", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0577n6rz", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Maria", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Spychalska", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Ruhr University Bochum", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Jarmo", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Kontinen", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Ruhr University Bochum", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Ira", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Noveck", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Institut des Sciences Cognitives", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Ludmila", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Rosch", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Ruhr University Bochum", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Markus", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Werning", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Ruhr University Bochum", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2015-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/25758/galley/15382/download/" } ] }
