Cumulative semantic interference as learning
When aphasic individuals name pictures in a blocked-cyclic naming paradigm, they produce more semantic and omission errors when the repeatedly named items come from a single semantic category, relative to when the items are from different categories, an effect known as cumulative semantic interference. This effect is magnified in Broca’s aphasics and increases as patients repeatedly cycle throu...
متن کاملPreserved complex emotion-based learning in amnesia.
An important role for emotion in decision-making has recently been highlighted by disruptions in problem solving abilities after lesion to the frontal lobes. Such complex decision-making skills appear to be based on a class of memory ability (emotion-based learning) that may be anatomically independent of hippocampally mediated episodic memory systems. There have long been reports of intact emo...
متن کاملPreserved recognition in a case of developmental amnesia: implications for the acquisition of semantic memory?
We report the performance on recognition memory tests of Jon, who, despite amnesia from early childhood, has developed normal levels of performance on tests of intelligence, language, and general knowledge. Despite impaired recall, he performed within the normal range on each of six recognition tests, but he appears to lack the recollective phenomenological experience normally associated with e...
متن کاملBelief attribution despite verbal interference.
False-belief (FB) tasks have been widely used to study the ability of individuals to represent the content of their conspecifics' mental states (theory of mind). However, the cognitive processes involved are still poorly understood, and it remains particularly debated whether language and inner speech are necessary for the attribution of beliefs to other agents. We present a completely nonverba...
