If we want to nitpick, wouldn't this test only work for people who read the language? In theory, if you spoke Greek, but never learned to read it, you would pass the test as well.
Fascinating though, thanks for the link.

If you're interested, the component in question is called the N400 and you should be able to find plenty of references on google shcolar.
