  • What we mean when we say semantic: Toward a multidisciplinary semantic glossary

    Open AccessJamie Reilly, Cory Shain et al.ARTICLEPsychonomic Bulletin & Review2025

    Tulving characterized semantic memory as a vast repository of meaning that underlies language and many other cognitive processes. This perspective on lexical and conceptual knowledge galvanized a new era of research undertaken by numerous fields, each with their own idiosyncratic methods and terminology. For example, “concept” has different meanings in philosophy, linguistics, and psychology. As such, many fundamental constructs used to delineate…

  • Phase synchronization during the processing of taxonomic and thematic relations

    Open AccessErica Adezati, Xianqing Liu et al.ARTICLEBrain and Language2024

    Semantic relations include "taxonomic" relations based on shared features and "thematic" relations based on co-occurrence in events. The "dual-hub" account proposes that the anterior temporal lobe (ATL) is functionally specialized for taxonomic relations and the inferior parietal lobule (IPL) for thematic relations. This study examined this claim by analyzing the intra- and inter-region phase synchronization of intracranial EEG data from electrod…

  • Taxonomic and thematic relations rely on different types of semantic features: Evidence from an fMRI meta-analysis and a semantic priming study

    Open AccessYueyang Zhang, Daniel Mirman et al.ARTICLEBrain and Language2023

    Taxonomic and thematic relations are major components of semantic representation but their neurocognitive underpinnings are still debated. We hypothesised that taxonomic relations preferentially activate parts of anterior temporal lobe (ATL) because they rely more on colour and shape features, while thematic relations preferentially activate temporoparietal cortex (TPC) because they rely more on action and location knowledge. We first conducted a…

  • Taxonomic and thematic semantic systems

    Open AccessDaniel Mirman, Jon-Frederick Landrigan et al.ARTICLEPsychological Bulletin2017Cited by: 4References: 1

    Object concepts are critical for nearly all aspects of human cognition, from perception tasks like object recognition, to understanding and producing language, to making meaningful actions. Concepts can have 2 very different kinds of relations: similarity relations based on shared features (e.g., dog-bear), which are called "taxonomic" relations, and contiguity relations based on co-occurrence in events or scenarios (e.g., dog-leash), which are c…

  • Computational Modeling of Statistical Learning: Effects of Transitional Probability Versus Frequency and Links to Word Learning

    Open AccessDaniel Mirman, Katharine Graf Estes et al.ARTICLEInfancy2010

    Statistical learning mechanisms play an important role in theories of language acquisition and processing. Recurrent neural network models have provided important insights into how these mechanisms might operate. We examined whether such networks capture two key findings in human statistical learning. In Simulation 1, a simple recurrent network (SRN) performed much like human learners: it was sensitive to both transitional probability and frequen…
