Shared neural and cognitive mechanisms in action and language: The multiscale information transfer framework
A Blumenthal‐Dramé, E Malaia - … Reviews: Cognitive Science, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
This review compares how humans process action and language sequences produced by
other humans. On the one hand, we identify commonalities between action and language …

[HTML][HTML] Neural correlates of multisensory enhancement in audiovisual narrative speech perception: A fMRI investigation
This fMRI study investigated the effect of seeing articulatory movements of a speaker while
listening to a naturalistic narrative stimulus. It had the goal to identify regions of the language …

Synchrony as a measure of conversation difficulty: Movement coherence increases with background noise level and complexity in dyads and triads
When people interact, they fall into synchrony. This synchrony has been demonstrated in a
range of contexts, from walking or playing music together to holding a conversation, and has …

Automatic imitation of human and computer-generated vocal stimuli
Observing someone perform an action automatically activates neural substrates associated
with executing that action. This covert response, or automatic imitation, is measured …

Automatic imitation of speech is enhanced for non-native sounds
Simulation accounts of speech perception posit that speech is covertly imitated to support
perception in a top-down manner. Behaviourally, covert imitation is measured through the …

The effect of motor resource suppression on speech perception in noise in younger and older listeners: An online study
Speech motor resources may be recruited to assist challenging speech perception in
younger normally hearing listeners, but the extent to which this occurs for older adult …

Cerebral hemodynamics in speech-related cortical areas: articulation learning involves the inferior frontal gyrus, ventral sensory-motor cortex, and parietal-temporal …
N Nakamichi, K Takamoto, H Nishimaru… - Frontiers in …, 2018 - frontiersin.org
Although motor training programs have been applied to childhood apraxia of speech (AOS),
the neural mechanisms of articulation learning are not well understood. To this aim, we …

Decline of auditory-motor speech processing in older adults with hearing loss
MTN Panouillères, R Möttönen - Neurobiology of aging, 2018 - Elsevier
Older adults often experience difficulties in understanding speech, partly because of age-
related hearing loss (HL). In young adults, activity of the left articulatory motor cortex is …

Modulation of intra-and inter-hemispheric connectivity between primary and premotor cortex during speech perception
Primary motor (M1) areas for speech production activate during speech perception. It has
been suggested that such activation may be dependent upon modulatory inputs from …
