The challenge of abstract concepts.
Abstract Abstract concepts (“freedom”) differ from concrete ones (“cat”), as they do not have
a bounded, identifiable, and clearly perceivable referent. The way in which abstract …

What does semantic tiling of the cortex tell us about semantics?
LW Barsalou - Neuropsychologia, 2017 - Elsevier
Recent use of voxel-wise modeling in cognitive neuroscience suggests that semantic maps
tile the cortex. Although this impressive research establishes distributed cortical areas active …

Dissociable substrates underlie the production of abstract and concrete nouns
KAQ Cousins, S Ash, DJ Irwin, M Grossman - Brain and Language, 2017 - Elsevier
A central question in neurolinguistics is how semantic concepts-the generalizable
knowledge of entities, people and events-are represented in the brain. Imaging studies in …
