Certain models of spoken-language processing, like those for many other perceptual and
cognitive processes, posit continuous uptake of sensory input and dynamic competition …

How do we map the rapid input of spoken language onto phonological and lexical
representations over time? Attempts at psychologically-tractable computational models of …

Manual actions are a hallmark of humanness. Their underlying neural circuitry gives rise to
species-specific skills and interacts with language processes. In particular, multiple studies …

Abstract Articulatory Phonology and Task Dynamics model spoken language mathematically
based on dynamical systems, expressing the view that speaking is similar in nature to many …

Many neurocognitive studies on the role of motor structures in action-language processing
have implicitly adopted a “dictionary-like” framework within which lexical meaning is …

Emerging neurophysiologic evidence indicates that motor systems are activated during the
perception of speech, but whether this activity reflects basic processes underlying speech …

Visual lexical decision is a classical paradigm in psycholinguistics, and numerous studies
have assessed the so-called “lexicality effect"(ie, better performance with lexical than non …

Classical cognitive theories hold that word representations in the brain are abstract and
amodal, and are independent of the objects' sensorimotor properties they refer to. An …

Perception, cognition, and action occur over time. An organism must continuously and
rapidly integrate sensory data with prior knowledge and potential actions at multiple …

What is the neural representation of a speech code as it evolves in time? How do listeners
integrate temporally distributed phonemic information across hundreds of milliseconds, even …
