Abstract
This conference gathered three dissertations that had in common the performance of experimental research that provided substantial evidence to understand the processes and the representations that lie behind different linguistic domains and abilities, as well as the brain activity that sustains them. Dr. Adolfo García presented original experimental research about the neural organization of the semantic knowledge, performed mainly with electroencephalography and magnetoencephalography. Dr. María Elina Sánchez presented a study developed with Dr. Virginia Jaichenco in which they analyzed, through behavioral and eye tracking methods, the sentence reading performance in people with acquired dyslexia and a control group of people with no linguistic disorders. Dr. Yamila Sevilla presented a work in which she analyzed the asymmetry that emerges in the comprehension of subject and object relative clauses with psychological predicates, using behavioral and pupillometry methods.
