Sentence examples for semantic stages from inspiring English sources

These findings suggest that the structural and semantic stages are dissociable and that the categorization of artefacts, as opposed to the categorization of natural objects, is based, in part, on action knowledge mediated by the left premotor cortex.

The late co-occurrence of M1 activation, together with the absence of relationship between this activation and the linguistic performance (RTs and accuracy), critically contribute to this conclusion, against the view that the phenomenon of language-induced motor activity automatically occurs during the lexical and semantic stages of word recognition, and is causal to them.

The findings indicated that boys with ADHD exhibit an early perceptual deficit in selection of visual stimuli on the basis of color (red versus blue) as well as in later semantic stages of visual selective attention [ 7].

The delays between stimulus onset and magnetic stimulation were consistent with electrophysiological studies, suggesting that word recognition can be differentiated into early (within 200 ms) and late (within 400 ms) lexical-semantic stages, and post-conceptual stages.

Finally, if consistency effects at least partly stem from central lexico-semantic' stages of representation, we expect significant differences between consistent and inconsistent trials in specific ERP components (N400 and LPC).

Note, however, that we only predict the occurrence of systematic N400 and LPC effects related to decade-consistency (if this effect originates at a lexico-semantic stage of processing), but not their specific direction.

Our finding that order of acquisition is less relevant than proficiency in determining the amount of right hemisphere and posterior activity during early encoding and especially late semantic processing stages is important because it shows that models such as Kroll and colleagues' RHM [12] must include mechanisms to account for changes in language dominance.

However, the effect of ROM has also been challenged by Hino et al. (2006), who reported a null effect, and Hino et al. (2010), who argued that ROM is effective only at the post-lexical decision-making stage, not at the semantic coding stage of lexical access.

In the context of these findings, the present results suggest that regardless of modality, proficiency is the main factor in the recruitment of areas such as VOT and LOT during early encoding and late lexico-semantic processing stages, although other factors may contribute as well.

Two research topics are of particular interest in this domain: (1) it is still undetermined whether sustained attention affects lexical decision tasks; (2) the influence of attention on early visual processing (i.e., before orthographic or lexico-semantic processing stages) remains largely under-specified.

We interpret this as evidence that this activation reflects lexico-semantic processing stages.
