Abstract
Multimodal conceptual knowledge influences lexical retrieval speed: evidence from object-naming and word-reading in healthy adults
Highlights
Getting from a concept to a spoken word relies on access to specific neural systems that support different knowledge domains (Caramazza & Mahon, 2006; Mahon & Caramazza, 2009)
It is proposed that modality-specific knowledge converges in the anterior temporal lobes to form a multimodal or unique representation (Lambon Ralph et al, 2015)
A table, is not strongly associated with such rich qualities. This multimodal convergence may assist lexical retrieval, but does it facilitate processing speed? The aim of the current study was to examine if multimodal information facilitates lexical retrieval
Summary
Getting from a concept to a spoken word relies on access to specific neural systems that support different knowledge domains (Caramazza & Mahon, 2006; Mahon & Caramazza, 2009). Multimodal conceptual knowledge influences lexical retrieval speed: evidence from object-naming and word-reading in healthy adults A concept’s visual form, diagnostic colour, manner of motion, or action it may invoke. It is proposed that modality-specific knowledge converges in the anterior temporal lobes (aTLs) to form a multimodal or unique representation (Lambon Ralph et al, 2015).
