The estimated prevalence of aphasia in the UK and the USA is 250 000 and 1 000 000,
respectively. The commonest aetiology is stroke. The impairment may improve with …

Language is considered to be one of the most lateralized human brain functions. Left
hemisphere dominance for language has been consistently confirmed in clinical and …

Computational models of lexical selection in spoken word production have been applied to
semantic interference effects in picture naming response times obtained with continuous …

A major objective in post-stroke aphasia research is to gain a deeper understanding of
neuroplastic mechanisms that drive language recovery, with the ultimate goal of enhancing …

The flexible retrieval of knowledge is critical in everyday situations involving problem
solving, reasoning and social interaction. Current theories emphasise the importance of a …

It has long been assumed that a dorsal pathway running from temporal to inferior frontal
cortex underpinned by the left arcuate fasciculus (AF) underlies both repetition and spoken …

As all human activities, verbal communication is fraught with errors. It is estimated that
humans produce around 16,000 words per day, but the word that is selected for production …

The Stroop task is a seminal paradigm in experimental psychology, so much that various
variants of the classical color–word version have been proposed. Here we offer a …

We investigated the neural basis of inhibitory control during lexical selection. Participants
overtly named pictures while response times (RTs) and event-related brain potentials …

Abstract Language production involves the retrieval of information from memory, the
planning of an articulatory program, and executive control and self-monitoring. These …
