Revealing the body in the brain: An ERP method to examine sensorimotor activity during visual perception of body-related information
2020, CortexCitation Excerpt :Subtracting the output of these tasks (e.g., reaction time) informs about the added cognitive costs; each task is thought to reflect a part of a major cognitive process (much like those differences in the mental operations of Donders’ experiments; Donders, 1868). Nevertheless, current postulates criticize this linear approach because it seems to neglect interactions between cognitive/neural processes (Friston et al., 1996; Jennings, McIntosh, Kapur, Tulving, & Houle, 1997; Price & Friston, 1997; Vidal, Burle, Grapperon, & Hasbroucq, 2011). A subtraction closer to the one proposed here is that one found in studies examining multisensory integration whereby different stimuli are presented through one, two or more sensory modalities in a de/synchronised manner.
The lexical processing of abstract and concrete nouns
2009, Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :Therefore, results differ even when the same type of task is used, possibly depending on the stimuli features, such as the degree of imageability: although concrete material is mostly imageable, abstract words present a high degree of variability within this dimension (Paivio, 1971). Response type can also have a relevant effect in semantic memory tasks with a significant interaction between response type and brain regional activation (Jennings et al., 1997). To summarize, most (but not all) neuroimaging studies suggest a bilateral representation for concrete items, essentially involving several structures almost invariably including the fusiform gyrus, while abstract word representation is less defined, resulting either in a left, right, or bilateral activation.
