Historically, both clinicians and cognitive scientists have used visual object naming measures to study naming, and lesion-type studies have implicated the left posterior, temporo-parietal region as a critical component of naming circuitry. However, recent results from behavioral and cortical stimulation studies using auditory description naming as well as visual object naming in left temporal ...

Existing methods for unsupervised identification of speakers in TV broadcast usually rely on the output of a speaker diarization module and try to name each cluster using names provided by another source of information: we call it “late naming”. Hence, written names extracted from title blocks tend to lead to high precision identification, although they cannot correct errors made during the clu...

Naming is an important, but frequently overlooked, aspect of software systems. Usually, naming appears combined with other issues, e.g. distributed communication technology. This paper treats naming in isolation. It presents a naming design pattern which abstracts several naming policies and an object-oriented framework that can be customized to support naming policies. Applications designer ca...

Analogous to Malt, Sloman, Gennari, Shi and Wang (1999) we examined the relation between linguistic categorization and similarity of artifacts by Dutch-speaking and Frenchspeaking monolingual Belgians. We replicated the dissociation between naming and sorting found by Malt et al. (1999) for speakers of English, Chinese and Spanish. We also investigated the relation between the two naming patter...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Direct cortical stimulation studies suggest that responsive naming is more widely distributed within the temporal lobe than confrontation naming and involves anterior temporal regions typically resected in a standard temporal lobectomy. The aim of the current study was to further demonstrate the anatomic dissociation between confrontation and responsive naming by using fu...

Stroop interference is characterized by strong asymmetry between word and color naming such that the former is faster and interferes with the latter but not vice versa. This asymmetry is attributed to differential experience with naming in the two dimensions, i.e., words and colors. Here we show that training on a visual-verbal paired associate task equivalent to color and shape naming leads to...
