Daniel presented the results of behavioral and EEG studies on the argument-adjunct distinction. An example argument is \u201cPeter\u201d in \u201cJohn shaved Peter\u201d, and an example adjunct is \u201cquickly\u201d in \u201cJohn shaved quickly\u201d.&nbsp; Daniel showed that arguments are processed differently from adjuncts. There were several processing differences; for example, adjuncts (but not arguments) trigger an increase in alpha-band power after their onset. This suggests that adjuncts are processed less automatically than arguments. Daniel\u2019s defence went very well, and the committee members were intrigued by the material he presented.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daniel Di Giovanni successfully defended his Master\u2019s thesis on April 27.&nbsp; The title of the thesis is \u201cNeural and predictive effects of verb argument structure\u201d.&nbsp;The Chair for the Defense was John Logan and the examiner was Dr. Beth MacLeod, and the committee consisted of Dr. Georg Northoff, Dr. Ida Toivonen and Dr. Dan Siddiqi.
