Representation of Semantic Similarity in the Left Intraparietal Sulcus: Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Evidence

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2017
According to a recent study, semantic similarity between concrete entities correlates with the similarity of activity patterns in left middle IPS during category naming.

Nonverbal Semantics Test (NVST)—A Novel Diagnostic Tool to Assess Semantic Processing Deficits: Application to Persons with Aphasia after Cerebrovascular Accident

Brain Sciences, 2021
Assessment of semantic processing capacities often relies on verbal tasks which are, however, sensitive to impairments at several language processing levels.

Socialness effects in lexical–semantic processing.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Contemporary theories of semantic representation posit that social experience is an important source of information for deriving meaning. However, there is a lack of behavioural evidence in support of this proposal. The aim of present work was to test whether words’ degree of social relevance, or socialness, influences lexical-semantic processing.

Using textual clues to improve metaphor processing

, 1996
In this paper, we propose a textual clue approach to help metaphor detection, in order to improve the semantic processing of this figure. The previous works in the domain studied the semantic regularities only, overlooking an obvious set of regularities.

Differential neural dynamics underling pragmatic and semantic affordance processing in macaque ventral premotor cortex [PDF]

, 2019
Premotor neurons play a fundamental role in transforming physical properties of observed objects, such as size and shape, into motor plans for grasping them, hence contributing to "pragmatic" affordance processing. Premotor neurons can also contribute to

Sound recurrence analysis for acoustic scene classification

EURASIP Journal on Audio, Speech, and Music Processing
In everyday life, people experience different soundscapes in which natural sounds, animal noises, and man-made sounds blend together. Although there have been several studies on the importance of recurring sound patterns in music and language, the ...

Language uncovers visuospatial dysfunction in posterior cortical atrophy: a natural language processing approach

Frontiers in Neuroscience
IntroductionPosterior Cortical Atrophy (PCA) is a syndrome characterized by a progressive decline in higher-order visuospatial processing, leading to symptoms such as space perception deficit, simultanagnosia, and object perception impairment.

Development of the N400 for Word Learning in the First 2 Years of Life: A Systematic Review

Frontiers in Psychology, 2021
The N400 ERP component is a direct neural index of word meaning. Studies show that the N400 component is already present in early infancy, albeit often delayed.

Explaining semantic short-term memory deficits:evidence for the critical role of semantic control [PDF]

, 2011
Patients with apparently selective short-term memory (STM) deficits for semantic information have played an important role in developing multi-store theories of STM and challenge the idea that verbal STM is supported by maintaining activation in the ...

Cognitive Status in People With Epilepsy in the Republic of Guinea: A Prospective, Case–Control Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective People with epilepsy (PWE) may experience cognitive deficits but fail to undergo formal evaluation. This study compares cognitive status between PWE and healthy controls in the West African Republic of Guinea. Methods A cross‐sectional, case–control study was conducted in sequential recruitment phases (July 2024–July 2025) at Ignace ...
