Abstract

In the preliminary event-dependent potentials study, our team found that the neural mechanism of Chinese singular and plural picture naming is different, and explained that the differences might lie in the different numbers of quantitative processing. However, previous studies have lacked separate neural processing of objects in singular-plural pictures. This study intends to explore the neural differences in quantity processing in singular and plural pictures by using an object counting task and combining Event-related potential (ERP). It is expected to prove that the neural differences of naming Chinese single and plural pictures found in our previous ERP research are neural processing differences of different quantities, further demonstrating that the quantity processing in Chinese singular and plural picture naming is automatic. The experimental results showed no significant differences in object counting accuracy (P=0.139) and reaction time (P=0.231) between the singular and plural groups. However, there was a noticeable difference in ERPs between the two groups (P<0.05) and statistical analysis showed that the P1 effect of the parieto-occipital lobe was greater in plural pictures than in singular pictures (140-180ms) and the P2 effect of the parieto-occipital lobe was more significant in singular pictures than in plural pictures (200-320ms). There are differences in the quantity processing of healthy adults in object counting tasks. These differences are similar to the neural differences in Chinese singular-plural picture naming, indicating that the quantity is automatically processed in this process.
