The Stroop effect in kana and kanji scripts in native Japanese speakers: an fMRI study.
Prior research has shown that the two writing systems of the Japanese orthography are processed differently: kana (syllabic symbols) are processed like other phonetic languages such as English, while kanji (a logographic writing system) are processed like other logographic languages such as Chinese. Previous work done with the Stroop task in Japanese has shown that these differences in processi...
متن کاملNormal and impaired reading of Japanese kanji and kana
Two kinds of scripts are used in the written forms of Japanese words: morphographic kanji and phonographic kana. Whereas each kana character invariably represents a single pronunciation, the majority of kanji characters have two or more legitimate pronunciations, with one appropriate to the character in any given word. Furthermore, each kanji character has meaning while a kana character does no...
متن کاملBrain activity during visual versus kinesthetic imagery: an fMRI study.
Although there is ample evidence that motor imagery activates similar cerebral regions to those solicited during actual movements, it is still unknown whether visual (VI) and kinesthetic imagery (KI) recruit comparable or distinct neural networks. The present study was thus designed to identify, through functional magnetic resonance imaging at 3.0 Tesla in 13 skilled imagers, the cerebral struc...
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 کاملImplicit and explicit processing of kanji and kana words and non-words studied with fMRI.
Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we investigated the implicit language processing of kanji and kana words (i.e., hiragana transcriptions of normally written kanji words) and non-words. Twelve right-handed native Japanese speakers performed size judgments for character stimuli (implicit language task for linguistic stimuli), size judgments for scrambled-character stimuli (impl...
