Prior investigations of functional specialization have focused on the response profiles of
particular brain regions. Given the growing emphasis on regional covariation, we propose to …

This article presents a review of the effects of adverse conditions (ACs) on the perceptual,
linguistic, cognitive, and neurophysiological mechanisms underlying speech recognition …

Aside from the language-selective left-lateralized frontotemporal network, language
comprehension sometimes recruits a domain-general bilateral frontoparietal network …

People believe they see emotion written on the faces of other people. In an instant, simple
facial actions are transformed into information about another's emotional state. The present …

Lesion and neuroimaging studies indicate that the insula mediates motor aspects of speech
production, specifically, articulatory control. Although it has direct connections to Broca's …

How do general-purpose cognitive abilities affect language processing and
comprehension? Recent research emphasises a role for cognitive control—also called …

The brain networks supporting speech identification and comprehension under difficult
listening conditions are not well specified. The networks hypothesized to underlie effortful …

Most words are ambiguous: Individual word forms (eg, run) can map onto multiple different
interpretations depending on their sentence context (eg, the athlete/politician/river runs) …

What role do domain-general executive functions play in human language comprehension?
To address this question, we examine the relationship between behavioral measures of …

Everyday challenges impact our ability to hear and comprehend spoken language with
ease, such as accented speech (source factors), spectral degradation (transmission factors) …
