Alternatively, speech function can be realized within the modality system through projecting clause complexes consisting of mental and idea clauses, e.g. "I think…", "I believe" (explicit subjective) or objectively such as "It is possible to argue that…" (explicit objective).
This suggests that there was more direct competition between two successive targets when presented within the same modality than between modalities.
Not only does its prevalence change over time, and between various countries and within communities [3], but the modalities and types of treatments for asthma have changed over time with continually emerging new evidence.
To guarantee that we could compare effects within the comprehension modality with between-modality effects, we needed to establish syntactic repetition effects in the brain within the comprehension modality.
Because a crucial aspect of the present study is the comparison of effects within the comprehension modality to between-modality effects, we opted to manipulate syntactic priming while always repeating the verb between prime and target sentence.
The authors report that, in a number of follow-up studies, the effects remained small, but that the comparisons across modalities and modes were nevertheless consistently more difficult than the comparisons within the same modality and mode.
Humans do not make further distinctions within the five modalities.
Embodied or grounded cognition posits that cognition is "grounded" within the sensory modalities, bodily states, and actions and so engages perceptual and action simulations (Barsalou, 2008, 2010).
It has been argued that if abstract numerosities are represented in the brain, then numerosity comparisons across different modalities and modes of presentation should be as easy to perform as numerosity comparisons within the same modality and the same mode of presentation [32], [35].
