fMRI adaptation dissociates syntactic complexity dimensions
The current fMRI adaptation study sought to elucidate the dimensions of syntactic complexity and their underlying neural substrates. For the first time with fMRI, we investigated repetition suppression (i.e., fMRI adaptation) for two orthogonal dimensions of sentence complexity: embedding position (right-branching vs. center-embedding) and movement type (subject vs. object). Two novel results w...
متن کاملAn FMRI study of syntactic adaptation.
It is easier to produce and comprehend a series of sentences when they have similar syntactic structures. This "syntactic priming" effect was investigated during silent sentence reading using (i) blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) response as a physiological measure in an f MRI study and (ii) reading time as a behavioral measure in a complementary self paced reading paradigm. We found tha...
متن کاملOn Operationalizing Syntactic Complexity
In the recent functional linguistic literature, the notion of syntactic complexity and similar concepts have received considerable attention. Yet, when trying to operationalize syntactic complexity as an independent variable in statistical research designs, it soon emerges that the notion is somewhat underdefined. I will report the results from an experiment comparing three measures of syntacti...
متن کاملContrast adaptation dissociates different measures of luminous efficiency.
We compared how contrast adaptation influences three alternative measures of luminous efficiency. Subjects judged the lightness, the flicker, or the motion of chromatic sine-wave gratings. Adaptation to gratings with correlated luminance and chromatic contrast strongly biases lightness matches and moderately biases minimum-motion settings for gratings that are counterphased at 1 Hz, but it has ...
متن کاملfMRI adaptation revisited.
Adaptation has been widely used in functional magnetic imaging (fMRI) studies to infer neuronal response properties in human cortex. fMRI adaptation has been criticized because of the complex relationship between fMRI adaptation effects and the multiple neuronal effects that could underlie them. Many of the longstanding concerns about fMRI adaptation have received empirical support from neuroph...
