We attempted to replicate the original effect with two additional split-brain patients, J.W. and V.P., and to extend the original design to clarify the source of the putative semantic effect.
With this, we can understand the semantic effect of movement as applied to digital typography, how to manipulate it to fulfil an objective and use motion graphics and animation to communicate a message with better efficiency than with another medium.
What is the semantic effect of nominalization?
The quantifier phrase 'someone' occupies the structural position where in fact the np-type hypothesis is needed, and realizes its semantic effect at some higher sentential level.
"It would seem that this is entirely a linguistic effect, totally dependent on language," says Brannon. "We sought to understand whether monkeys showed this semantic effect, even though they don't have language". In their experiments, Cantlon and Brannon presented monkeys with two arrays of randomized numbers of dots displayed on a computer touch screen.
Also, if no semantic effect in the cortical processing of motor response is observed (no modulation of motor components, MP and RAP), the bidirectionality hypothesis fails.
This kind of semantic effect, which is not dependent on formal overlap, will be referred to as semantic' hereafter.
That is, there is a sole effect of word imagery when the semantic effect of word association was decreased under the preconscious condition.
Another possibility is that the reliable length effect on naming high-frequency words in Simulation 2 may be a consequence of the absence of semantic effect in the current model.
One further factor that might affect the temporal onset of the first semantic effect in lexical decision tasks based on word/non-word recognition is the orthographic similarity between words and non-words, that is the number of orthographic neighbours of pseudo-words [ 29, 30].
The potential importance of left and right anterior temporal lobe regions and their interconnectivity in normal comprehension has been underlined by recent repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation studies: stimulation of either left or right anterior temporal regions produces a selective semantic effect in line with the semantic dementia data (Pobric et al., 2007, Lambon Ralph et al., 2009).
