Statistically significant results of analyses performed on the mean amplitude of ERP waveforms in all between-group analyses at the ambiguous NP (song/beer), the critical verb (pleased), and the final word (customers) of age-matched controls (n = 20) vs. individuals with aphasia (n = 15). p values in parentheses.
