o:26102 How to do better N400 studies: reproducibility, consistency and adherence to research standards in the existing literature en Abstract: Given the complexity of ERP recording and processing pipeline, the resulting variability of methodological options, and the potential for these decisions to influence study outcomes, it is important to understand how ERP studies are conducted in practice and to what extent researchers are transparent about their data collection and analysis procedures. The review gives an overview of methodology reporting in a sample of 132 ERP papers, published between January 1980 – June 2018 in journals included in two large databases: Web of Science and PubMed. Because ERP methodology partly depends on the study design, we focused on a well-established component (the N400) in the most commonly assessed population (healthy neurotypical adults), in one of its most common modalities (visual images). The review provides insights into 73 proper- ties of study design, data pre-processing, measurement, statistics, visualization of results, and references to supplemental information across studies within the same subfield. For each of the examined methodological decisions, the degree of con- sistency, clarity of reporting and deviations from the guidelines for best practice were examined. Overall, the results show that each study had a unique approach to ERP data recording, processing and analysis, and that at least some details were missing from all papers. In the review, we highlight the most common reporting omissions and deviations from established recommendations, as well as areas in which there was the least consistency. Additionally, we provide guidance for a priori selection of the N400 measurement window and electrode locations based on the results of previous studies. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11065-021-09513-4 Keywords: ERP methodology · N400 · Pictures · Event related potentials · Open science · Reproducibility 1552099 10.1007/s11065-021-09513-4 1552101 1040-7308 2022-06-23T10:13:48.147Z 44 yes 46 Анђела Шошкић Универзитет у Београду Учитељски факултет 0000-0003-0216-989X application/pdf 1262199 https://phaidrabg.bg.ac.rs/o:26102 no yes 18 70 92000001 11A42 Neuropsychology Review Springer 2021 https://www.springer.com/journal/11065
