Semantic flexibility and referential specificity of concrete nouns

Journal of Memory and Language, 1986
Abstract Although many properties may be ascribed to the referent of a concrete noun, a sentence context may emphasize only some of these properties.

Selective sparing of abstract relative to concrete words has been documented only exceptionally in aphasia, following bilateral temporal damage. In this paper we present a new case with sparing of abstract word processing and impairment of concrete words due to selective atrophy of the left anterior temporal regions.In our subject, the reversal of the ...

EFFECT OF MNEMONICS OF LOCI IN MEMORIZATION OF CONCRETE NOUNS.

The present paper explores the effects of the use of loci mnemonics by expert people when series of three items (triples) must be memorized. The most general results of the experiments here presented is that progressive elaboration instructions make loci mnemonics not only powerful with a series of materials, but also capable of maintaining the order ...
