Such conceptual processing is necessarily intertwined with perceptual processes, as semantic and perceptual levels of representation are known to be coupled [36].
They further demonstrate the importance of L2 semantic and conceptual processing in modulating the L2 proficiency effect on L2 text integration processes.
Neurocognitive mechanisms of conceptual processing in healthy adults and patients with schizophrenia.
The distinction reported here between the roles of dorsal and lateral ATL in conceptual processing is subtle, reflecting the contribution of different aspects of abstract concepts.
Much more substantial are the distinct roles of dorsolateral and ventromedial ATL in conceptual processing, reflecting the distinction between "abstract" and "concrete" concepts, respectively.
The bilateral activation supports previous claims that conceptual processing involves both temporal lobes.
The benefits were only seen when tDCS dampened down activity in the left anterior temporal lobe, which is associated with conceptual processing, labels and categorising, and stimulated activity in the right anterior temporal lobe, linked to insight and novel meaning.
This suggests that redundant signals may not speed up conceptual processing when interhemispheric presentation is not available.
These findings suggest that conceptual processing can elicit the distinctiveness heuristic, and that recollective distinctiveness drives levels-of-processing effects.
These results suggest that beliefs can influence learning success through top-down biasing of attention and conceptual processing toward goal-congruent information.
The findings reported here may extend beyond the organization of the ATL and conceptual processing in the blind to reflect general principles about the factors that shape the neural organization of concepts in the sighted population.
