Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of current study was to clarify correct wrong linguistic information especially slip of tongue and re-comprehend it smoothly. Correction of wrong information is thought to be an essential function during communication. In this study, psychological and fMRI experiments were conducted to reveal the correct function. These results indicates that correction and short-term memory or working memory mutually works during real-time language processing.
