Thus, the positive correlations of frequency with familiarity, meaningfulness, and number of semantic features all support the interpretation that the overlapping activation for higher-frequency and higher-imageability words observed in bilateral precuneus/posterior cingulate and angular gyrus reflects semantic processing during reading aloud.
The doctors were instructed to think aloud while processing the cases (Think-Aloud Protocols) and finally to decide for or against drug treatment.
Therefore, the DCM analysis will be able to identify the interactions that increased selectively during reading aloud when visual processing and articulation are fully controlled.
We will then have a better understanding of how knowledge and guidelines in this area of medicine are represented in memory, and how these cognitive structures are related to actual decisions and to the individual doctor's think-aloud protocols from processing the cases.
This functional MRI (fMRI) study investigated the effect of lexical and syllable frequency on visual word processing during lexical decision and reading aloud.
We critically review four key areas: speech processing, sentence processing, language production, and reading aloud, and evaluate progress against three criteria: data contact, task veridicality, and input representativeness.
We used fMRI to identify the neural networks involved in processing Czech words and nonwords during reading aloud and writing to dictation.
Tasks within this group partly equalled tasks from the first group (automatized sequences, repetition, reading aloud, writing to dictation, visual processing) with the exception that numbers were compared to words.
On the basis of the neuroanatomy, we propose that the contrasting effects of syllable frequency during lexical decision and reading aloud reflect two different cognitive processes in visual word processing.
Models of reading aloud: Dual-route and parallel-distributed-processing approaches.
Wheat et al. (2013) therefore suggest that early inferior frontal activity, detected by MEG studies of phonological processing, could reflect activation that occurs implicitly during reading aloud even when it is not required by the task.
