ERP was particularly beneficial in helping the researchers to investigate the bi-directional hypothesis of action-sentence comprehension, which proposes that language processing facilitates movement and movement also facilitates language comprehension.

According to this hypothesis, functional morphology is the most challenging aspect for adult L2 learners to acquire.
