If the engagement of the LH system for inflected forms primarily reflects their combinatorial implications, then left-lateralized effects should be stronger for the two verb conditions than for the two noun conditions.
In translation from the Russian, the terms "conditional" and "unconditional" became "conditioned" and "unconditioned," and the verb "to condition" was soon introduced to describe the experimental activity.
In half the trials, the target object could be predicted from the verb (Prediction condition), in the other half such prediction was not possible (Control condition).
Results showed that in healthy adults inflecting both past tense and agreement morphology (compared to a verb stem production condition) recruited not only left inferior frontal structures, but also motor and premotor cortices, and posterior parietal regions.
The target word was an action verb in one condition, and a noun in the other.
In this context, the propositions were arranged according to the terms used, for example, verbs such as "lead to", "cause" or "result in" indicated consequences, and verbs such as "condition", "need" or "influence" stated conditions and influencing factors.
In the high noise condition, verb-noun sentences were presented during auditory background noise (white noise, 78 dB), and in the low noise condition sentences were presented without noise.
State of being verbs show a condition (seem, remain, feel).
The so-called "identity MMN" (see Pulvermüller and Shtyrov 2006) was obtained for each context condition, noun, verb, pseudoword, and noise, by subtracting the averaged neurophysiological response to the deviant stimulus by the response to the same identical stimulus presented as a frequently repeated item ("control deviant stimulus", see also Fig. 1).
The subjunctive mood is used in dependent clauses that do the following: "in grammar, designating or of that mood of a verb used to express condition, hypothesis, contingency, possibility, etc., rather than to state an actual fact: distinguished from imperative, indicative".
This effect appeared at the lexical verb in the fue conditions and at the auxiliary in the estaba conditions.
