The Processing of Visual and Phonological Configurations of Chinese One- and Two-Character Words in a Priming Task of Semantic Categorization [PDF]

Frontiers in Psychology, 2016
To separate the contribution of phonological from that of visual-orthographic information in the recognition of a Chinese word that is composed of one or two Chinese characters, we conducted two experiments in a priming task of semantic categorization ...

Does Semantic Information Help in the Text Categorization Task? [PDF]

Journal of Intelligent Systems, 2008
In this paper, we investigate how effective the use of semantic information could be in text categorization tasks. To this end, we consider distinct representations of documents differing in the kind of information incorporated: (a) information about terms only, (b) semantic information, and (c) a combination of both types of information.

The influence of prime characteristics in semantic priming [PDF]

Frontiers in Psychology
The semantic priming effect refers to the finding that processing a target word is facilitated when it is preceded by a related prime compared to an unrelated prime, and the semantic priming paradigm has been a key way to examine how knowledge is ...

Automatic for the kids: assessment of cognitive efficiency in elementary school children’s auditory semantic processing [PDF]

Frontiers in Psychology
The present study examined time on task effects in semantic processes of listening comprehension on the word and sentence levels. The aim was to investigate whether response times in auditory semantic tasks show systematic relations with accuracy, and ...

Neural underpinnings of thematic and taxonomic processing in indirect semantic priming: evidence from the N400 and frontal negativity [PDF]

BMC Psychology
Background Semantic memory includes knowledge of specific categories and their diverse semantic relations, yet the neural mechanisms underlying thematic and taxonomic semantic processing remain controversial.

Thinking climate change through the lens of abstractness: a multi-task and multi-setting investigation into generational differences in the conceptualization of ecology [PDF]

Cognitive Research
To face ecological disasters, one of the major emergencies of modern times, fostering pro-environmental behaviors appears crucial. While research explored various behavioral drivers, few studies addressed the conceptual representation of ecological ...

Distinctive responses in anterior temporal lobe and ventrolateral prefrontal cortex during categorization of semantic information

Scientific Reports, 2021
Semantic categorization is a fundamental ability in language as well as in interaction with the environment. However, it is unclear what cognitive and neural basis generates this flexible and context dependent categorization of semantic information.

Is semantic processing impaired near the hands?

Acta Psychologica, 2021
In a sentence decision task, Davoli et al. (2010) found that the semantic analysis of sentences differed depending on whether the participants' hands were close to or far from the computer screen.
