Nieuwland et al. 2018: Multi-site N400 Replication Study
A large-scale (N=356) multi-laboratory EEG replication of DeLong, Urbach & Kutas (2005), testing whether readers pre-activate the phonological form of upcoming nouns during sentence comprehension. Participants at nine UK laboratories read sentences word by word, with indefinite articles (a/an) preceding expected or unexpected nouns. The data show reliable N400 effects on target nouns but no statistically significant effect on the preceding articles, which challenges strong accounts of prediction. The release includes all subjects with available raw data and a flag marking those included in the original paper's analyses.
