Searching for the trace: the influence of age, lexical activation and working memory on sentence processing.
To investigate the stability of trace reactivation in healthy older adults, 22 older volunteers with no significant neurological history participated in a cross-modal priming task. Whilst both object relative center embedded (ORC) and object relative right branching (ORR) sentences were employed, working memory load was reduced by limiting the number of words separating the antecedent from the ...
متن کاملExpressive Content as Conventional Implicature *
In defining conventional implicature, Grice (1975) supplied terminology for reasoning about a group of secondary lexical entailments indicating speakers’ attitudes toward (parts of) their main assertions. The passage in question is potentially ground breaking: it draws a restrictive boundary around (Grice’s) pragmatic theory, and it homes in on a complex mode of expression that operates under t...
متن کاملInfluence of emotional processing on working memory in schizophrenia.
Research on emotional processing in schizophrenia suggests relatively intact subjective responses to affective stimuli "in the moment." However, neuroimaging evidence suggests diminished activation in brain regions associated with emotional processing in schizophrenia. We asked whether given a more vulnerable cognitive system in schizophrenia, individuals with this disorder would show increased...
متن کامل106. Conventional implicature and expressive content
This article presents evidence that individual words and phrases can contribute multiple independent pieces of meaning simultaneously. Such multidimensionality is a unifying theme of the literature on conventional implicatures and expressives. I use phenomena from discourse, semantic composition, and morphosyntax to detect and explore various dimensions of meaning. I also argue that, while the ...
متن کاملAge differences in text processing: the role of working memory, inhibition, and processing speed.
OBJECTIVES Age-related changes in the efficiency of various general cognitive mechanisms have been evoked to account for age-related differences between young and older adults in text comprehension performance. Using structural equation modeling, we investigate the relationship between age, working memory (WM), inhibition-related mechanisms, processing speed, and text comprehension, focusing on...
