Moreover, this action-sentence effect was modulated by a specific feature of the movement, hand-shape.
Thus, the current work addressed three issues: (1) a description of specific semantic and motor ERPs of ACE; (2) a comparison of the semantic and motor ERPs regarding the compatible and incompatible action-sentence effects; and (3) a comparison of the behavioral and neural markers of ACE to build a more precise understanding of the action-sentence interactions.
The court ruled that her subsequent imprisonment for about four months during the trial and initial appeal, before her sentence took effect, was groundless because she was not a flight risk and had shown up at court.
For subsequent analyses involving neural measures we summarized their performance by calculating the difference in percent of unacceptable judgements between subordinate and dominant sentences (dominance effect) and between ambiguous and unambiguous sentences (ambiguity effect).
In his paper, published on July 5 , 1990 in The New England Journal of Medicine, Dr. Rudman concluded with this sentence: "The effects of six months of growth hormone on lean body mass and adipose-tissue mass were equivalent in magnitude to the changes incurred during 10 to 20 years of aging".
A person is sentenced, in effect, to an indefinite period of imprisonment — an average of between ten and twelve years, but often much longer — in conditions of constant anxiety and isolation, after which, at a year and date and time unknown, he is taken from his cell and burned or poisoned to death.
Ibáñez et al. (2013) provide direct evidence for this notion, evaluating the Action-Sentence Compatibility Effect (ACE; see Glenberg & Kaschak, 2002) in epilepsy patients.
Our study looked for specific action-sentence compatibility effect (ACE) by examining motor and semantic processes indexed by Event Related Potentials (ERPs).
This negativity reached its maximum peak around 300 ms after stimulus onset and peak-to-peak latency was faster for emotional in contrast to neutral sentences, an effect especially pronounced at right frontal electrode sites.
This rich palate of sentence content effects on brain responses may prove useful for the evaluation of neural plasticity of language networks in brain-damaged individuals.
