Neural inhibition enables selection during language processing.
Whether grocery shopping or choosing words to express a thought, selecting between options can be challenging, especially for people with anxiety. We investigate the neural mechanisms supporting selection during language processing and its breakdown in anxiety. Our neural network simulations demonstrate a critical role for competitive, inhibitory dynamics supported by GABAergic interneurons. As...
متن کاملNeural Measures Reveal Implicit Learning during Language Processing
Language input is highly variable; phonological, lexical, and syntactic features vary systematically across different speakers, geographic regions, and social contexts. Previous evidence shows that language users are sensitive to these contextual changes and that they can rapidly adapt to local regularities. For example, listeners quickly adjust to accented speech, facilitating comprehension. I...
متن کاملFirst Language Activation during Second Language Lexical Processing in a Sentential Context
Lexicalization-patterns, the way words are mapped onto concepts, differ from one language to another. This study investigated the influence of first language (L1) lexicalization patterns on the processing of second language (L2) words in sentential contexts by both less proficient and more proficient Persian learners of English. The focus was on cases where two different senses of a polys...
متن کاملLanguage Selection at the Time of Processing Anger: A Case Study of Turkish-Persian Bilinguals
Recent research declares the influence of bilingualism on many cognitive and emotional processes. The aim of the present study is investigating the role of bilingualism in processing anger in Turkish-Persian bilinguals’ first (L1) and second (L2) language. To achieve this goal, 18 Turkish-Persian sequential bilinguals (with an average age of 26) who were students of Tehran universities were sel...
متن کاملNeural Processing of What and Who Information during Spoken Language Processing
■ Human speech is composed of two types of information, related to content (lexical information, i.e., “what” is being said, e.g., words) and to the speaker (indexical information, i.e., “who” is talking, e.g., voices). The extent to which lexical versus indexical information is represented separately or integrally in the brain is unresolved. In the current experiment, we use short-term fMRI ad...
