Semantic Neighborhood Effects for Abstract versus Concrete Words
Studies show that semantic effects may be task-specific, and thus, that semantic representations are flexible and dynamic. Such findings are critical to the development of a comprehensive theory of semantic processing in visual word recognition, which should arguably account for how semantic effects may vary by task. It has been suggested that semantic effects are more directly examined using t...
متن کاملComprehension of concrete and abstract words in semantic dementia.
The vast majority of brain-injured patients with semantic impairment have better comprehension of concrete than abstract words. In contrast, several patients with semantic dementia (SD), who show circumscribed atrophy of the anterior temporal lobes bilaterally, have been reported to show reverse imageability effects, that is, relative preservation of abstract knowledge. Although these reports l...
متن کاملFN400 and LPC memory effects for concrete and abstract words.
According to dual-process models, recognition memory depends on two neurocognitive mechanisms: familiarity, which has been linked to the frontal N400 (FN400) effect in studies using ERPs, and recollection, which is reflected by changes in the late positive complex (LPC). Recently, there has been some debate over the relationship between FN400 familiarity effects and N400 semantic effects. Accor...
متن کاملContextual Characteristics of Concrete and Abstract Words
In this work we investigate commonalities and differences between the semantic representations of concrete and abstract words using human judgments and distributional semantics. We tackle the following questions: a) Does distributional similarity imply similarity in concreteness vs. abstractness? b) How do concrete and abstract context words co-occur with concrete and abstract words? c) Are our...
متن کاملDictionary of Abstract and Concrete Words of the Russian Language: A Methodology for Creation and Application
The paper describes the first stage of a project on creating an electronic dictionary with numerical estimates of the degree of abstractness and concreteness of Russian words. Our approach is to integrate data obtained from several different sources: text corpora, psycholinguistic experiments, published dictionaries, markers of abstractness (certain suffixes) and a translation of a similar dict...
