我们的大脑迅速将传入的语言映射到我们认为真实的事物上。然而，有人声称，在包含“不”等否定词的句子中，这种整合和验证过程会被延迟。然而，研究经常混淆某个陈述是否真实以及在正常交流中所说的话是否自然。在事件相关电位（ERP）实验中，我们的目的是理清真值和实用许可对理解肯定和否定现实世界陈述的影响。与肯定句一样，在经实用许可的否定句中，假词比真词引起更大的 N400 ERP（例如，“适度地喝红酒不是坏/好……”），而真词和假词在未经许可的否定句中引起类似的反应（例如，“小兔子的皮毛不是很硬/软……”）。这些结果表明，否定不会对读者立即将传入的单词与他们认为正确的内容联系起来构成原则性障碍。
Our brains rapidly map incoming language onto what we hold to be true. Yet there are claims that such integration and verification processes are delayed in sentences containing negation words like ‘not’. However, research studies have often confounded whether a statement is true and whether it is natural thing to say during normal communication. In an event-related potential (ERP) experiment, we aimed to disentangle effects of truth-value and pragmatic licensing on the comprehension of affirmative and negated real-world statements. As in affirmative sentences, false words elicited a larger N400 ERP than true words in pragmatically licensed negated sentences (e.g., “In moderation, drinking red wine isn’t bad/good…”), whereas true and false words elicited similar responses in unlicensed negated sentences (e.g., “A baby bunny’s fur isn’t very hard/soft…”). These results suggest that negation poses no principled obstacle for readers to immediately relate incoming words to what they hold to be true.
