Conceptual Knowledge
This term refers to higher nodes in a semantic network storing shared properties
What is cognitive economy?
Neurons that respond to some objects but not others are called this
What are imagery neurons?
This effect refers to an increase in RT for words that occur more often
What is the Word Frequency effect?
This technique involves having participants create mental images and then time how long it took for them to go from one area of the image to another
What is Mental Scanning?
This approach suggests that there are specific neural circuits in the brain based on category
What is the semantic category approach?
This neuro device disrupted brain areas similarly for imagery and perception causing slower RT
What is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation?
This term refers to the frequency of the meanings with ambiguous words
What is meaning dominance?
This task has participants read words and determine whether they are a word or a nonword
What is the Lexical Decision Task?
This model in conceptual knowledge suggests that learning adjusts weights in networks based on back propagation
What is the Connectionist network?
Patients with this condition will fail to report imagery in one half of the visual field in both perception and imagery
What is hemi-neglect (unilateral neglect)?
Garden Path Model suggests that phrasing is governed by parsing and this component of language
What is syntax?
This test involves determining where holes are in a folded piece of paper when unfolded to test spatial imagery
What is the Paper folding test?
This term suggests that other concepts that are related to a concept in a semantic network resulting in easier retrieval
What is spreading activation?
In this study, imagery and perception resulted in the same organization in brain activation
What is the Topographical map study?
This model suggests that semantics, syntax, and other factors determine parsing
What is Constraint-based approach to parsing?
Using this technique, participants listen to auditory instructions while processing scene information with eye tracking
What is the Visual World Paradigm?
This hypothesis suggests that living and nonliving things are separated by purpose and appearance
What is the sensory-functional hypothesis?
In Ganis & colleages (2004) fMRI study, all brain areas had complete overlap in perception and imagery except this brain area
What is the visual cortex (back of brain)?
This term, associated with the Garden Path model refers to assuming a word is part of a current phrase for as long as possible
What is late closure?
This task in language research has a director and matcher who are trying to match the order of abstract cards through entrainment
What is the Referential communication task?
