Age-related differences in auditory semantic priming: the development of normative electrophysiological data in the Dutch population

Most aspects of semantic processing are thought to remain fairly stable with age. However, heterogeneous aging-effects in semantic processing have been reported by means of the event-related potential (ERP) technique, especially regarding the semantic N400 in the auditory modality (Giaquinto et al., 2007; Raling et al., 2016). Therefore, the aim of this study is to delineate the effects of normal aging on the N400 amplitude and latency. The investigation of semantic potentials in different ages will yield normative electrophysiological data for verbal-semantic comprehension in the Dutch population.
