Activation of sensory-motor areas in sentence comprehension.
The sensory-motor account of conceptual processing suggests that modality-specific attributes play a central role in the organization of object and action knowledge in the brain. An opposing view emphasizes the abstract, amodal, and symbolic character of concepts, which are thought to be represented outside the brain's sensory-motor systems. We conducted a functional magnetic resonance imaging ...
متن کاملBrain activation modulated by sentence comprehension.
The comprehension of visually presented sentences produces brain activation that increases with the linguistic complexity of the sentence. The volume of neural tissue activated (number of voxels) during sentence comprehension was measured with echo-planar functional magnetic resonance imaging. The modulation of the volume of activation by sentence complexity was observed in a network of four ar...

متن کاملSentence Comprehension in Aphasia
We show in this chapter that selective aphasic deficits dissociate distinct language processing systems. To this end, we focus on disruptions of lexical access that appear to implicate initial stages of sentence comprehension. The analyses we present turn on comparisons between agrammatic (Broca's) aphasic patients and paragrammatic (Wernicke's) aphasic patients. By the former we mean roughly, ...
متن کاملSpreading Activation Theories in Sentence Memory , Sentence Comprehension , and Speech Production
comprehension, and speech production-especially speech errors. The characterlstics of different kinds of spreading activation theories will also be discussed. Presented here is a review of spreading activation theories in the basic human memory system. According to Ratcliff. Hockley, & McKoon (1985), spreading activatien theories in human memory can be grouped into two main classes; models whic...
