Abstract
ERP studies have shown modulation of activation in left frontal and posteri or cortical language areas, as well as recruitment of right hemisphere homo logues, based on task demands. Furthermore, blood-flow studies have demonst rated changes in the neural circuitry of word processing based on experienc e. The neural areas and time course of language processing are plastic depe nding on task demands and experience.
