  • The Hyper-Modular Associative Mind

    Open AccessYoed N Kenett, Rinat Gold et al.ARTICLELanguage and Speech2016Cited by: 2References: 84

    Rigidity of thought is considered a main characteristic of persons with Asperger syndrome (AS). This rigidity may explain the poor comprehension of unusual semantic relations, frequently exhibited by persons with AS. Research indicates that such deficiency is related to altered mental lexicon organization, but has never been directly examined. The present study used computational network science tools to compare the mental lexicon structure of pe…

  • Investigating the structure of semantic networks in low and high creative persons

    Open AccessYoed N Kenett, David Anaki et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Human Neuroscience2014

    According to Mednick's (1962) theory of individual differences in creativity, creative individuals appear to have a richer and more flexible associative network than less creative individuals. Thus, creative individuals are characterized by "flat" (broader associations) instead of "steep" (few, common associations) associational hierarchies. To study these differences, we implement a novel computational approach to the study of semantic networks,…

  • Native Language Phonological Skills in Low‐Proficiency Second Language Learners

    Open AccessKaty Borodkin, Miriam FaustARTICLELanguage Learning2014References: 37

    This study investigated the link between low second language performance and difficulties with native language phonological processing. Participants were native Hebrew speakers, 19–31 years of age, who learned English as a second language in a school setting. Individuals with dyslexia performed below high‐proficiency second language learners on each of four tasks assessing native language phonological processing, whereas low‐proficiency second la…

  • The Effects of Metaphoricity and Presentation Style on Brain Activation During Text Comprehension

    Nira Mashal, Miriam FaustARTICLEMetaphor and Symbol2010

    Evidence from neuroimaging studies suggests that the right hemisphere contributes significantly to the processing of 2-word metaphoric expressions, whereas metaphoric sentences activate mainly left hemispheric areas. Yet the pattern of brain activation during the processing of metaphors at the text level, beyond simple word pairs or sentences, is still unknown. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to examine brain activation patterns whi…
