Introducción. La comprensión del lenguaje está determinada por diversos procesos, entre los que se encuentra el reconocimiento léxico. Según el modelo conexionista, este reconocimiento se genera por activación mediante el emparejamiento de la información acumulada y por la inhibición de las entradas léxicas que compiten por activación.
Objetivo. Determinar las diferencias temporales y espaciales de procesamiento entre las incongruencias léxicas semánticamente relacionadas a un contexto lingüístico oracional y las no relacionadas a través de mediciones electrofisiológicas de potenciales relacionados a eventos (PRE).
Materiales y métodos. Se realizó la medición de los PRE en 10 sujetos sanos por medio de un paradigma de 240 oraciones en español agrupadas de la siguiente manera: 80 oraciones congruentes, 80 con incongruencias dentro del campo léxico y 80 con incongruencias fuera del campo léxico.
Resultados. Se observó una diferencia estadística en la latencia de aparición del componente N400 entre las dos condiciones. Por su parte, se encontró una mayor activación del precúneo, del giro orbitofrontal, del giro angular y del giro supramarginal en la condición de incongruencia fuera del campo léxico.
Conclusión. Se identificaron diferencias temporales y espaciales (activación del precúneo, del giro orbitofrontal, del giro angular y del giro supramarginal) entre el procesamiento de las incongruencias léxicas y no léxicas.
Introduction: Language understanding depends on several processes, including lexical recognition. According to the connectionist model, this recognition is generated by activation through the matching of accumulated information and by the inhibition of lexical entries that compete for activation.
Objective: To determine, through electrophysiological measurements of event-related potentials (ERP), temporal and spatial processing differences between lexical inconsistencies semantically related to a sentence linguistic context and those that are unrelated.
Materials and methods: ERPs were measured in 10 healthy subjects by means of a 240 Spanish sentences paradigm grouped as follows: 80 congruent sentences, 80 sentences with lexical incongruities, and 80 with non-lexical incongruities.
Results: A statistical difference was found in the latency of appearance of the N400 component between both conditions. On the other hand, a greater activation of the precuneus, the orbitofrontal gyrus, the angular gyrus and the supramarginal gyrus was observed in the non-lexical incongruity condition.
Conclusion: There are temporal and spatial (activation of the precuneus, the orbitofrontal gyrus, the angular gyrus and the supramarginal gyrus) differences between the processing of lexical inconsistencies and the processing of non-lexical inconsistencies.
