The approach provides conceptual information on the design of the reaction process in terms of feeding, bypassing and mixing patterns for reactive phases as well as on the existence of reactive separation sections within the network.
The present results are consistent with models of RSVP processing that advocate automatic processing of conceptual information for all stimuli, be they targets or distractors, with a subsequent capacity-limited stage in which targets are consolidated in visual short-term memory prior to report [9].
'Propositional memory' is 'semantic memory' or memory for facts, the vast network of conceptual information underlying our general knowledge of the world: this is naturally expressed as 'remembering that', for example, that Descartes died in Sweden.
Multivariate pattern analysis is a technique that allows the decoding of conceptual information such as the semantic category of a perceived object from neuroimaging data.
The presence or absence of conceptual information in pictorial stimuli may explain the mixed findings of previous studies of false recognition in patients with mild Alzheimer's disease (AD).
The N400 is typically elicited in response to meaningful stimuli and thought to reflect access or integration of conceptual information (Kutas & Federmeier, 2011), which in the case of compounds would occur during combinatorial processing, but not direct lexical access.
In the previous literature, ventro-lateral prefrontal activity has been strongly associated with top-down control of semantic memory [ 41], particularly the selection of conceptual information stored in the posterior temporal cortex (and presumably in other cortices) during retrieval processing [ 42].
Thus, multiple factors contribute to shaping the organization of conceptual information in ATL and the temporal lobe more generally.
These two regions are partly overlapping and strongly functionally connected (Fig. 6a), suggesting parallel involvement in processing different but similarly amodal contents of conceptual information.
The presence of conceptual information at study and/or test was manipulated by providing or withholding disambiguating semantic labels.
