Sentence encoding and implicitly activated memories

Encoding emotional memories

In recent years, emotion research has gained considerable interest from cognitive neuroscientists, who generally agree that emotion influences virtually all aspects of cognition. The mechanisms underlying the impact of emotion on memory have received particular interest, and have been extensively investigated in both humans and non-humans. Here, we review evidence from brain imaging studies inv...

Phonological Encoding in Sentence Production

Previous tests of the phonological competition model (Dell, 1986) have mostly investigated the effects of phonological overlap (e.g. pick-pin) in isolated word production (e.g. primed picture naming). This is problematic since recent findings suggest that the effect of phonological overlap depends on the syntactic category of the phonologically related words, and few previous studies investigat...

Dynamic Data Encoding for Page-oriented Memories

Crossmodal encoding of motor sequence memories.

In this study, we tested the hypothesis that exposure to specific auditory sequences could lead to the crossmodal induction of new motor memories. Twenty young, healthy participants memorized a melody without moving. Each tone in the memorized melody had previously been associated with a particular finger movement. For ten of the participants, the contour of the melody memorized was congruent t...

Incremental Phonological Encoding during Unscripted Sentence Production

We investigate phonological encoding during unscripted sentence production, focusing on the effect of phonological overlap on phonological encoding. Previous work on this question has almost exclusively employed isolated word production or highly scripted multi-word production. These studies have led to conflicting results: some studies found that phonological overlap between two words facilita...
