Dynamics of activation of semantically similar concepts during spoken word recognition.

29 Sep 2009 Semantic similarity effects provide critical insight into the organization of semantic knowledge and the nature of semantic processing. In the present study, we examined the dynamics of semantic similarity effects by using the visual world ... Read more...

Conceptual processing in music as revealed by N400 effects on words and musical targets.

29 Sep 2009 The cognitive processing of concepts, that is, abstract general ideas, has been mostly studied with language. However, other domains, such as music, can also convey concepts. Koelsch et al. [Koelsch, S., Kasper, E., Sammler, D., Schulze, K., Gunter, ... Read more...

Tracking the emergence of conceptual knowledge during human decision making.

22 Sep 2009 Concepts lie at the very heart of intelligence, providing organizing principles with which to comprehend the world. Surprisingly little, however, is understood about how we acquire and deploy concepts. Here, we show that a functionally coupled ... Read more...
