Rigidity, Chaos and Integration: Hemispheric Interaction and Individual Differences in Metaphor Comprehension

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014
Neurotypical individuals cope flexibly with the full range of semantic relations expressed in human language, including metaphoric relations. This impressive semantic ability may be associated with distinct and flexible patterns of hemispheric ...

Concealed semantic and episodic autobiographical memory electrified

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2013
Electrophysiology-based concealed information tests (CIT) try to determine whether somebody possesses concealed information about a probe item by comparing event-related potentials (ERPs) between this item and comparison items (irrelevants). Although the

Neurofeedback training improves episodic and semantic long-term memory performance

Scientific Reports, 2021
Understanding and improving memory are vital to enhance human life. Theta rhythm is associated with memory consolidation and coding, but the trainability and effects on long-term memory of theta rhythm are unknown.

After cochlear implantation in older adults, enhanced working memory does not fully mediate the relationship between CI and improved semantic fluency

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience
AimStudies indicate that semantic fluency improved after cochlear implantation (CI) in older adults, but not in young and middle-aged adults. We were interested in identifying cognitive variables that are associated with this improvement.

The degraded concept representation system in semantic dementia:damage to pan-modal hub, then visual spoke [PDF]

, 2012
The core clinical feature of semantic dementia is a progressive yet selective degradation of conceptual knowledge. Understanding the cognitive and neuroanatomical basis for this deficit is a key challenge for both clinical and basic science.

A Computational Model of Children's Semantic Memory [PDF]

, 2004
A computational model of children's semantic memory is built from the Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) of a multisource child corpus. Three tests of the model are described, simulating a vocabulary test, an association test and a recall task. For each one,
