Chapter 6 Conclusion
6.1 Limitations of the Current Study
The use of the ERP technique in the present study allows a detailed inspection of the emotion effect with good temporal resolutions. However, the lack of high spatial resolutions means that we cannot be certain about the more precise source of the signals and whether there is an early linguistic process in processing emotion words. The findings of this study were thus restricted to reveal the temporal differences of emotion word processing only. A better spatial resolution technique such as MEG may offer more insight into the unseen lexical category effect in this study and shed more light on the between-subject differences by realistic individual head models.
