In LPC (500–700 ms), the results showed that the main effect of the two conditions is marginally significant, F 1 , 45 = 2.956 , p = 0.092 , η ρ 2 = 0.062 [ 0.00 , 0.18 ] , and all participants under infelicitous contextual condition ( Μ = − 0.941 μ V ) elicited greater LPC than felicitous condition ( Μ = 0.007 μ V ) .
