Decoding abstract and concrete concept representations based on single-trial fMRI data.
Previously, multi-voxel pattern analysis has been used to decode words referring to concrete object categories. In this study we investigated if single-trial-based brain activity was sufficient to distinguish abstract (e.g., mercy) versus concrete (e.g., barn) concept representations. Multiple neuroimaging studies have identified differences in the processing of abstract versus concrete concept...
متن کاملSingle trial decoding of belief decision making from EEG and fMRI data using independent components features
The complex task of assessing the veracity of a statement is thought to activate uniquely distributed brain regions based on whether a subject believes or disbelieves a given assertion. In the current work, we present parallel machine learning methods for predicting a subject's decision response to a given propositional statement based on independent component (IC) features derived from EEG and...
متن کاملOn Discriminating fMRI Representations of Abstract WordNet Taxonomic Categories
How abstract knowledge is organised is a key question in cognitive science, and has clear repercussions for the design of artifical lexical resources, but is poorly understood. We present fMRI results for an experiment where participants imagined situations associated with abstract words, when cued with a visual word stimulus. We use a multivariate-pattern analysis procedure to demonstrate that...
متن کاملMulti-Modal Models for Concrete and Abstract Concept Meaning
Multi-modal models that learn semantic representations from both linguistic and perceptual input outperform language-only models on a range of evaluations, and better reflect human concept acquisition. Most perceptual input to such models corresponds to concrete noun concepts and the superiority of the multimodal approach has only been established when evaluating on such concepts. We therefore ...
متن کاملUsing augmentations as bridges from concrete to abstract representations
We describe a pedagogical approach supporting the acquisition of abstraction skills by apprentices in logistics. Apprentices start with a concrete representation in the form of a small-scale model which aims at engaging them in learning activities. Multiple External Representations are used to progressively introduce more abstract representations displayed on paper-based forms called TinkerShee...
