This study investigated the electrophysiological markers of rhythmic expectancy during speech perception. In addition, given the large literature showing overlaps between cognitive and neural resources recruited for language and music, we c...
Communication and pragmatic breakdowns in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients [0.03%]
肌萎缩侧索硬化患者的交流及实用沟通障碍

While there is increasing attention toward cognitive changes in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the domain of pragmatics, defined as the ability to integrate language and context to engage in successful communication, remains unexplore...
Ways of making-sense: Local gamma synchronization reveals differences between semantic processing induced by music and language [0.03%]
意义建构的方式：局部伽马同步揭示了音乐和语言诱发语义加工之间的差异
Paulo Barraza,Mario Chavez,Eugenio Rodríguez
Paulo Barraza
Similar to linguistic stimuli, music can also prime the meaning of a subsequent word. However, it is so far unknown what is the brain dynamics underlying the semantic priming effect induced by music, and its relation to language. To elucida...

In long-term memory, the phoneme units that make up words are coded for the distinctive features and feature values that are necessary to distinguish between words in the mental lexicon. Underspecification theory says that the phonemes that...

The effects of lesions on syntactic comprehension were studied in thirty-one people with aphasia (PWA). Participants were tested for the ability to parse and interpret four types of syntactic structures and elements - passives, object extra...

Three studies are reported investigating how monolinguals and bilinguals resolve within-language competition when listening to isolated words. Participants saw two pictures that were semantically-related, phonologically-related, or unrelate...
Structural alterations of the language connectome in children with specific language impairment [0.03%]

Rosa Vydrova et al.
We evaluated brain white matter pathways associated with language processing in 37 children with specific language impairment aged 6-12 years and 34 controls, matched for age, sex and handedness. Arcuate fascicle (AF), inferior fronto-occip...
Language lateralization of hearing native signers: A functional transcranial Doppler sonography (fTCD) study of speech and sign production [0.03%]
听觉神经元侧化的研究：关于口语和手语产生的一项功能性经颅多普勒超声（fTCD）研究

Eva Gutierrez-Sigut et al.
Neuroimaging studies suggest greater involvement of the left parietal lobe in sign language compared to speech production. This stronger activation might be linked to the specific demands of sign encoding and proprioceptive monitoring. In E...
Beyond the amygdala: Linguistic threat modulates peri-sylvian semantic access cortices [0.03%]
超越杏仁核：语言威胁调节旁颞叶语义通达皮层

Daniel S Weisholtz et al.
In this study, healthy volunteers were scanned using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate the neural systems involved in processing the threatening content conveyed via visually presented "threat words." The neural re...
Spatial attention and reading ability: ERP correlates of flanker and cue-size effects in good and poor adult phonological decoders [0.03%]
空间注意力和阅读能力：良好读者和不良读者的 flanker效应和cue-大小效应的ERP相关性研究
Allison Jane Matthews,Frances Heritage Martin
Allison Jane Matthews
To investigate facilitatory and inhibitory processes during selective attention among adults with good (n=17) and poor (n=14) phonological decoding skills, a go/nogo flanker task was completed while EEG was recorded. Participants responded ...
