What does semantic tiling of the cortex tell us about semantics? [PDF]
, 2017 Recent use of voxel-wise modeling in cognitive neuroscience suggests that semantic maps tile the cortex. Although this impressive research establishes distributed cortical areas active during the conceptual processing that underlies semantics, it tells ...

Language Learning, Volume 76, Issue 1, Page 67-102, March 2026.Abstract This study investigates how distributional cues are integrated into the mental representation of the as‐predicative construction by English native and nonnative speakers, drawing on associative learning theory. We examined speakers’ constructional retrieval when given a verbal cue (Experiment 1) and their verb retrieval when given a ...

Cognitive Science, Volume 50, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Languages describe “who is doing what to whom” by distinguishing the event roles of agent (doer) and patient (undergoer), but it is debated whether they result from nonlinguistic representations that may already exist in preverbal infants and nonhuman animals. The phenomenon of causal perception, where the subsequent movements of two objects A

Speed Overestimation of the Moving Away Object in the Causal Effect
i-Perception, 2020 We describe a new illusory speed effect arising in visual events developed by Michotte (1946/1963 ) in studies of causal perception and, more specifically, within the so-called intentional reaction effect : When an Object B is seen intentionally escaping

Material Anchors in Language Learning
Topics in Cognitive Science, Volume 18, Issue 1, Page 111-125, January 2026.Abstract Language‐learning materials are cognitive technologies that aim to facilitate the complex cognitive task of acquiring the means for effective communication in a second language. Blackfoot and Plains Cree are two closely related Indigenous languages spoken in Canada and the United States.

Pursuit tracks chase: exploring the role of eye movements in the detection of chasing [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 We explore the role of eye movements in a chase detection task. Unlike the previous studies, which focused on overall performance as indicated by response speed and chase detection accuracy, we decompose the search process into gaze events such as smooth
