Neurocognitive and neurolinguistics theories make explicit statements relating specialized
cognitive and linguistic processes to specific brain loci. These linking hypotheses are in …

In animal models the neural basis of cognitive and executive processes has been studied
extensively at various hierarchical levels from microcircuits to distributed functional …

Neural Models of Language Processes offers an interdisciplinary approach to
understanding the nature of human language and the means whereby we use it. The book is …

A new perspective on cognition views cortical cell assemblies linking together knowledge
about actions and perceptions not only as the vehicles of integrated action and perception …

We develop the view that the involvement of mirror neurons in embodied experience
grounds brain structures that underlie language, but that many other brain regions are …

In this paper a general cognitive architecture of spoken language processing is specified.
This is followed by an account of how this cognitive architecture is instantiated in the human …

The structure of the brain and the nature of evolution suggest that, despite its uniqueness,
language likely depends on brain systems that also subserve other functions. The …

In this chapter we discuss the mirror-neurons system, a cortical network of areas that
enables individuals to understand the meaning of actions performed by others through the …

Which types of nerve cell circuits enable humans to use and understand meaningful signs
and words? Philosophers were the first to point out that the arbitrary links between signs and …

Hierarchical structure and compositionality imbue human language with unparalleled
expressive power and set it apart from other perception–action systems. However, neither …
