Different brain activation patterns during production of animals versus artefacts: a PET activation study on category-specific processing.

To study neural correlates of category-specific processing, we measured relative cerebral blood flow changes by PET (oxygen-15) in young healthy subjects while they produced exemplars of animals or artefacts to written subcategory prompts. In comparison ...

Discourse representation in the two cerebral hemispheres.

Readers construct at least two interrelated representations when they comprehend a text: (a) a propositional representation containing the individual ideas that are derived from each sentence and the relations among them and (b) a discourse model, a ...

Automatic and controlled verbal-information processing in patients with frontal lobe lesions.

The selectivity of frontal lobe lesion effects in the domains of verbal-information processing has not been well established. The authors hypothesized that capacity-limited controlled processing would be more impaired than automatic processing in frontal ...

Health literacy and performance on the Mini-Mental State Examination.

The objectives of the study were to determine the relationship between functional health literacy and performance on the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). New Medicare managed-care enrollees aged 65 years and older, living independently in the ...

Completion norms for 112 Spanish sentences.

Sentence completion norms are a valuable resource for researchers interested in studying the effects of context on word recognition processes. Norms for 112 Spanish sentences were compiled with the use of experimental software accessed over the ...

Neuroimaging a single thought: dorsolateral PFC activity associated with refreshing just-activated information.

Neuroimaging studies of human working memory (WM) show conflicting results regarding whether dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (PFC) contributes to maintaining information in consciousness or is recruited primarily when information must be manipulated. ...

The recognition potential and repetition effects.

The recognition potential (RP) is an electrical brain response peaking at 250 ms that appears when subjects view meaningful stimuli. Previous RP research was conducted in experimental conditions in which repetition effects could not be totally ruled out ...

A descriptive study of hyperlexia in a clinically referred sample of children with developmental delays.

In this study, we evaluated the incidence of hyperlexia in a clinically referred sample of 80 children with developmental delays. Based on hypotheses previously formulated in the literature, the study investigated the frequency of hyperlexia among boys ...

Neurological origins of poor reading comprehension despite fast word decoding?

Barnes, Faulkner, and Dennis (2001) found that hydrocephalic children (mean age = 11.5 years) of average or above-average verbal intelligence exhibit poor reading comprehension despite their fast and accurate decoding skills on individual words. This ...

Human brain potentials indicate morphological decomposition in visual word recognition.

Stem homographs are pairs of words with the same orthographic description of their stem but which are semantically and morphologically unrelated (e.g. in Spanish: rata/rato (rat/moment)). In priming tasks, stem homographs produce inhibition, unlike ...
