We recorded eventrelated brain potentials while respondents from contrasting political-ethical backgrounds completed an attitude survey on drugs, medical ethics, social conduct, and other issues. Our results show that value-based disagreement is unlocked by language extremely rapidly, within 200 to 250 ms after the first word that indicates a clash with the reader’s value system (e.g., ‘‘I think euthanasia is an acceptable/unacceptable. . .’’). Furthermore, strong disagreement rapidly influences the ongoing analysis of meaning, which indicates that even very early processes in language comprehension are sensitive to a person’s value system. Our results testify to rapid reciprocal links between neural systems for language and for valuation. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
