Download or read book Right Hemisphere Contributions to Lexical Semantics written by Christine Chiarello and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language depends on a normally functioning left hemisphere. This central fact of human cerebral dominance was well established by 19th century aphasiologists and has been repeatedly confirmed by subsequent investiga tions. Predominance, however, does not imply exclusivity. As demonstrated by the commissurotomy patients studied by Eran Zaidel and associates, the right hemisphere is also capable of subserving some linguistic functions. The question, then, is not whether the right hemisphere can process language, but how and when it does so. This volume focuses on the right hemisphere's contribution to one important aspect oflanguage, lexical semantics. Although the right hemisphere may well be involved in other linguistic functions, such as prosody, the greatest evidence for right hemisphere language competence has been obtained for the processing of word meanings. In addition, cognitive psychology and psycho linguistics have provided us with well-developed models of the lexicon and lexical access to guide our inquiry. Finally, there are techniques available for studying lateralized lexical processing in the normal as well as in the brain injured hemispheres. For these reasons, a focus on the lexicon is likely to yield the greatest number of insights about right-hemisphere language processing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The statement, "The Right Hemisphere (RH) processes language"--while not exactly revolutionary--still provokes vigorous debate. It often elicits the argument that anything the RH does with language is not linguistic but "paralinguistic." The resistance to the notion of RH language processing persists despite the fact that even the earliest observers of Left Hemisphere (LH) language specialization posited some role for the RH in language processing, and evidence attesting to various RH language processes has steadily accrued for more than 30 years. In this volume, chapters pertain to a wide, but by no means, exhaustive set of language comprehension processes for which RH contributions have been demonstrated. The sections are organized around these processes, beginning with initial decoding of written or spoken input, proceeding through semantic processing of single words and sentences, up to comprehension of more complex discourse, as well as problem solving. The chapters assembled here should begin to melt this resistance to evidence of RH language processing. This volume's main goal is to compile evidence about RH language function from a scattered literature. The editorial commentaries concluding each section highlight the relevance of these phenomena for psycholinguistic and neuropsychological theory, and discuss similarities and apparent discrepancies in the findings reported in individual chapters. In the final chapter, common themes that emerge from the enterprise of studying RH language and future challenge for the field are reviewed. Although all chapters focus only on "typical" laterality of right handed people, this work provides a representative sample of the current state of the art in RH language research. Important features include: * a wide range of coverage from speech perception and reading through complex discourse comprehension and problem-solving; * research presented from both empirical and theoretical perspectives; and * commentaries and conclusions integrating findings and theories across sub-domains, and speculating on future directions of the field.

Download or read book The Prime Task Effect microform an Investigation of Semantic Vs Associative Priming and the Activation Blocking Account written by Natalie Alvina Kacinik and published by National Library of Canada = Bibliothèque nationale du Canada. This book was released on 1998 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A consistent finding in the semantic priming literature is that performing a letter search on the prime eliminates the facilitation usually obtained in the standard lexical decision task. This phenomenon has been explained in terms of both a drawing away of attention from the word to the letter level, and an "activation block" at the lexical-semantic interface. In the present experiment it was asked whether this effect varies as a function of the type of prime-target relationship; specifically, whether prime letter search has differential effects for unassociated semantically related pairs high in featural similarity (e.g., SPARROW-ROBIN), than for stimulus pairs associatively related but very low in terms of shared semantic features (e.g., HAYSTACK-NEEDLE). In Experiment 1, prime task (reading or letter search) was manipulated between subjects, while type of relatedness (associative versus semantic) was manipulated within subjects. Results indicated a significant decrease in the facilitation for the semantically related pairs in the letter search condition, but no change in the priming effect for the associative pairs. On the basis of association norms collected for our primes, it was found that most of our associated pairs did not seem to be strongly associated for our subjects (Experiment 2). For Experiment 3 new associated pairs were created based on the norms and prime task was manipulated using a within subjects design. The priming effect obtained in the standard priming condition was significantly reduced but not eliminated in the letter search condition. Findings are discussed in the context of the lexical-semantic distinction and the activation blocking account.

Download or read book Masked Priming written by Sachiko Kinoshita and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2004-06-02 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masked priming has a short and somewhat controversial history. When used as a tool to study whether semantic processing can occur in the absence of conscious awareness, considerable debate followed, mainly about whether masked priming truly tapped unconscious processes. For research into other components of visual word processing, however - in particular, orthographic, phonological, and morphological - a general consensus about the evidence provided by masked priming results has emerged. This book contains thirteen original chapters in which these three components of visual word processing are examined using the masked priming procedure. The chapters showcase the advantages of masked priming as an alternative to more standard methods of studying language processing that require comparisons of matched items. Based on a recent conference, this book offers up-to-date research findings, and would be valuable to researchers and students of word recognition, psycholinguistics, or reading.
