According to predictive coding, omission responses provide access to the representation of the prediction, as in this case the prediction error is an exact copy of the prediction.
In a second step, passive listening to number words was compared to the non-numerical control task passive listening to pseudowords to evaluate to what extent the intraparietal activation during the tasks with numerical stimuli indeed involved access to the representation of numerical magnitude rather than non-numerical factors such as attention and covert response selection.
In this study, high-grade aggressive tumours (such as glioblastomas) regularly impaired access to the semantic representations, but low-grade tumours did not.
However, based on structural and functional connectivity measures, the authors found that the access to these representations by the IFG was impaired.
If the crime is related to terrorism, not only might innocent civilians be wrongfully arrested, but they could also find themselves deprived of access to the legal representation that would prove their innocence.
The modality-dependent access to numerical information may be a consequence of modality-dependent access to the number representation in parietal cortex.
Flexible access to the memory representation of the new number would require a well-developed ability to resist unwanted interference from the old number.
In summary, when presenting numbers auditorily, both, magnitude comparison as well as parity judgement seemed to rely on access to the quantity representation of numbers as reflected by bilateral intraparietal activations.
Consequently, the present study indicates that deficits in number processing and arithmetic may occur in neglect not only because access to the MNL representation of number magnitude is impaired, but also because single digits constituting a multi-digit number may not be appropriately integrated in the place-value structure of the Arabic number system due to object-based symptoms of neglect.
This finding demonstrates that case alternation does not hinder the initial access to the abstract lexical representations during visual-word recognition.
In contrast, when the primes were words requiring access to the lexical output representations, stress errors were very few.
