A Neuroanatomical Examination of Embodied Cognition: Semantic Generation to Action-Related Stimuli

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2012
The theory of embodied cognition postulates that the brain represents semantic knowledge as a function of the interaction between the body and the environment.

Elephant cognition in primate perspective

, 2009
On many of the staple measures of comparative psychology, elephants show no obvious differences from other mammals, such as primates: discrimination learning, memory, spontaneous tool use, etc. However, a range of more naturalistic measures have recently

Is the mystery of thought demystified by context-dependent dategorisation? Towards a new relation between language and thought [PDF]

, 2012
We argue that are no such things as literal categories in human cognition. Instead, we argue that there are merely temporary coalescences of dimensions of similarity, which are brought together by context in order to create the similarity structure in ...

Individual differences in gradients of intrinsic connectivity within the semantic network relate to distinct aspects of semantic cognition

, 2022
Semantic cognition allows us to make sense of our varied experiences, including the words we hear and the objects we see. Contemporary accounts identify multiple interacting components that underpin semantic cognition, including diverse unimodal “spoke ...

How does linguistic knowledge contribute to short-term memory?:Contrasting effects of impaired semantic knowledge and executive control [PDF]

, 2012
Background: Linguistic knowledge makes an important contribution to verbal STM. Some theories, including Baddeley's original conception of the episodic buffer, hold that harnessing linguistic knowledge to support STM is executively demanding.

Latent semantics as cognitive components [PDF]

2010 2nd International Workshop on Cognitive Information Processing, 2010
Cognitive component analysis, defined as an unsupervised learning of features resembling human comprehension, suggests that the sensory structures we perceive might often be modeled by reducing dimensionality and treating objects in space and time as linear mixtures incorporating sparsity and independence.

Effects of Competition on Left Prefrontal and Temporal Cortex During Conceptual Comparison of Brand-Name Product Pictures: Analysis of fNIRS Using Tensor Decomposition

Brain Sciences
Background/Objectives: Recent theories of the neurocognitive architecture of semantic memory have included a distinction between semantic control in the left inferior frontal gyrus (LIFG) and semantic representation in the left anterior temporal lobe ...

Cognitive Systems, Semantic Constraints and Fragmented Narratives in the Digital Age

Corela, 2016
The present study consists of two, seemingly disparate but not incongruous parts. The first part discusses two ground-breaking semantic theories whose common theme is semantic constraints on natural language.

Gut microbiota links to serum ferritin and cognition

Gut Microbes, 2023
Iron is required for the replication and growth of almost all bacterial species and in the production of myelin and neurotransmitters. Increasing clinical studies evidence that the gut microbiota plays a critical role in iron metabolism and cognition ...
