Brain and Language: Evidence for Neural Multifunctionality
This review paper presents converging evidence from studies of brain damage and longitudinal studies of language in aging which supports the following thesis: the neural basis of language can best be understood by the concept of neural multifunctionality. In this paper the term "neural multifunctionality" refers to incorporation of nonlinguistic functions into language models of the intact brai...
متن کاملLanguage, Music, and Brain
Introduction: Over the last centuries, scientists have been trying to figure out how the brain is learning the language. By 1980, the study of brain-language relationships was based on the study of human brain damage. But since 1980, neuroscience methods have greatly improved. There is controversy about where music, composition, or the perception of language and music are in the brain, or wheth...
متن کاملSimilar Neural Correlates for Language and Sequential Learning: Evidence from Event-Related Brain Potentials.
We used event-related potentials (ERPs) to investigate the time course and distribution of brain activity while adults performed (a) a sequential learning task involving complex structured sequences, and (b) a language processing task. The same positive ERP deflection, the P600 effect, typically linked to difficult or ungrammatical syntactic processing, was found for structural incongruencies i...
متن کاملThe neural organization of language: evidence from sign language aphasia.
To what extent is the neural organization of language dependent on factors specific to the modalities in which language is perceived and through which it is produced? That is, is the left-hemisphere dominance for language a function of a linguistic specialization or a function of some domain-general specialization(s), such as temporal processing or motor planning? Investigations of the neurobio...
متن کاملLanguage Comprehension: Evidence from Brain-Imaging Research
Language comprehension requires the activation, coordination, and integration of different kinds of linguistic knowledge. This chapter focuses on the processing of syntactic and semantic information during sentence comprehension, and reviews research using event-related brain potentials (ERPs), positron emission tomography (PET), and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The ERP data pr...
