Critical examination of Liu et al. (2018) claims about methodological inconsistencies in ERP studies of conceptual modality switching, arguing that their conclusions overlook theoretical and methodological justifications for varying analytical approaches.
Event-related potential experiment investigating conceptual modality switching, finding early-onset negativity effects (160-750 ms) that increase over time, suggesting sensory regions have a functional role in conceptual processing and supporting the compatibility of distributional and embodied processing.
This study is a cross-linguistic, conceptual replication of Lynott and Connell’s (2009, 2013) modality exclusivity norms. The properties and concepts tested therein were translated into Dutch, and independently rated and analyzed (Bernabeu, 2018).
