Sex differences in semantic categorization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Sex differences in certain cognitive abilities, including aspects of semantic processing, are well established. However, there have been no reports investigating a sex difference in semantic categorization.

Neuromagnetic brain activities associated with perceptual categorization and sound-content incongruency: a comparison between monosyllabic words and pitch names

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2015
In human cultures, the perceptual categorization of musical pitches relies on pitch-naming systems. A sung pitch name concurrently holds the information of fundamental frequency and pitch name.

Kinesthetic motor-imagery training improves performance on lexical-semantic access.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of Motor Imagery (MI) training on language comprehension. In line with literature suggesting an intimate relationship between the language and the motor system, we proposed that a MI-training could ...

Understanding semantic priming: Evidence from masked lexical decision and semantic categorization tasks

open access: yes, 2005
There are now extensive behavioral and neuropsychological evidence to indicate that semantic information of a word can be activated without conscious awareness.

Novel Word Learning: Event-Related Brain Potentials Reflect Pure Lexical and Task-Related Effects

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2019
Previous research has pointed out that the combination of orthographic and semantic-associative training is a more advantageous strategy for the lexicalization of novel written word-forms than their single orthographic training.

Collaborative Categorization on the Web [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Collaborative categorization is an emerging direction for research and innovative applications. Arguably, collaborative categorization on the Web is an especially promising emerging form of collaborative Web systems because of both, the widespread use

Flexible recruitment of semantic richness: Context modulates body-object interaction effects in lexical-semantic processing

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2012
Body-object interaction (BOI) is a semantic richness variable that measures the perceived ease with which the human body can physically interact with a word’s referent.

Motor adaptation scaled by the difficulty of a secondary cognitive task. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2008
Motor learning requires evaluating performance in previous movements and modifying future movements. The executive system, generally involved in planning and decision-making, could monitor and modify behavior in response to changes in task difficulty or ...

The Syllable Frequency Effect in Semantic Categorization Tasks in Korean

open access: yesKSII Transactions on Internet and Information Systems, 2011
Previous studies of syllable frequency effects have proposed that inhibitory effects due to high first syllable frequency were the products of competitions between activated lexical candidates within a lexical level. However, these studies have primarily used lexical decision tasks to examine the nature of syllable frequency effects.

TESTING THE ACTIVATION OF SEMANTIC FRAMES IN A LEXICAL DECISION TASK AND A CATEGORIZATION TASK

open access: yesFacta Universitatis, Series: Linguistics and Literature, 2021
Situated in the wider framework of frame semantics, the paper employs an experimental approach involving a reaction time study to test the activation of semantic frames via semantic priming. Experiment 1 deals with the frame of journey and employs a lexical decision task in a reaction time paradigm, while Experiment 2 deals with the frame of conflict ...
