Mr. Muhly too often conveys the drama through murmuring, ritualized episodes rather than activating the words and altering the approach to the vocal writing.
Taking advantage of the multiple scripts of Japanese, we tested whether presenting a word in a script it never appears in would activate the visual word form of that word just as efficiently as showing the word in its usual form.
As a consequence less activation is necessary to activate the corresponding word.
When you activate the display, words light up to reflect the current time.
There is certainly more to the information provided contextually, but hopefully the above account will suffice in indicating how the contextual features activate the meaning-wording produced by speaker/addressee as their text.
Such an account would have to stipulate that the M100 frequency effect obtained for the atypical items is driven by the subset of the items in which stroke similarity occurs, and that for those items, this subtle similarity is powerful enough to activate the unseen typical word form to such an extent that the amplitude of the M100 response reflects the frequency of the unseen form.
Given the different roles of the two scripts, we can ask whether, for example, a hiragana version of a katakana word would activate the abstract form representation of that word just as quickly as presenting the word in its typical script.
If printed words activate the same brain regions as their corresponding pictures, the category preference for animal and tool words should have the same direction as the local category preference for animal and tool pictures.
In contrast, the size of the left STG region activated in the word condition was almost twofold larger than that activated by the "tay" condition.
It can be seen that motor activation to emotion words remained consistent through all 4 of the latter plots, with a tendency for abstract emotion words to activate the motor system in a more widespread fashion compared with the other word kinds examined here.
