The search for "common sense": an electrophysiological study of the comprehension of words and pictures in reading.
March 1, 1996... INTRODUCTION A symbol can be defined roughly as something that represents an object, an event, or a relationship. The symbolic system par excellence is written language; however, we are able to understand symbols that are not strictly...

Reduced timing variability in patients with unilateral cerebellar lesions during bimanual movements.
March 1, 1996... INTRODUCTION Damage to the cerebellum disrupts the temporal characteristics of movement. Evidence for this can be found in both the clinical and experimental literature. For example, patients with cerebellar lesions tend to make hypermetric...

Development of schemata during event parsing: Neisser's perceptual cycle as a recurrent connectionist network.
March 1, 1996... INTRODUCTION Day to day experience is characterized, remembered, and communicated as a series of events. We think about driving to work, we remember having an argument with our spouse, and we tell a friend about our plans to attend the...

Progressive nonfluent aphasia: language, cognitive, and PET measures contrasted with probable Alzheimer's disease. (positron emission tomography)
March 1, 1996... INTRODUCTION Probable Alzheimer's disease (pAD) is certainly the most common of progressive neurodegenerative conditions. More recently, an unusual neurodegenerative condition called primary progressive aphasia has been described (Chawluk et...

Modulation of event-related potentials by semantic priming: effects of color-cued selective attention.
March 1, 1996... INTRODUCTION That linguistic context alters the processes of language comprehension in some way is true for words in single lexical item contexts, in that words preceded by a semantically related or associated context have their processing...

Neurological distribution of processing resources underlying language comprehension.
March 1, 1996... INTRODUCTION The work presented in this paper seeks to advance our understanding of both sentence processing and functional neuroanatomy. In what follows, we link a syntactic comprehension failure to a neurologically localizable and...

The Development of Intersensory Perception: Comparative Perspectives.
March 1, 1996... Most sensory experiences in our daily environment are multimodal in nature: Visible objects often come with a distinctive noise or smell; voice sounds are generated by someone with particular visual features. According to neurophysiology,...

Cognitive Science: An Introduction.
March 1, 1996... This is the second edition of Cognitive Science: An Introduction. The book has been written for undergraduate cognitive science programs by seven authors with expertise in the topics presented in the book. Twelve chapters cover aspects of...
