Reconsidering the evolution of brain, cognition, and behavior in birds and mammals.
Published in Frontiers in psychology
Despite decades of research, some of the most basic issues concerning the extraordinarily complex brains and behavior of birds and mammals, such as the factors responsible for the diversity of brain size and composition, are still unclear. This is partly due to a number of conceptual and methodological issues. Determining species and group differen...
Cross-linguistic differences in the neural representation of human language: evidence from users of signed languages.
Published in Frontiers in psychology
Studies of deaf individuals who are users of signed languages have provided profound insight into the neural representation of human language. Case studies of deaf signers who have incurred left- and right-hemisphere damage have shown that left-hemisphere resources are a necessary component of sign language processing. These data suggest that, desp...
Picture-Induced Semantic Interference Reflects Lexical Competition during Object Naming.
Published in Frontiers in psychology
With a picture-picture experiment, we contrasted competitive and non-competitive models of lexical selection during language production. Participants produced novel noun-noun compounds in response to two adjacently displayed objects that were categorically related or unrelated (e.g., depicted objects: apple and cherry; naming response: "apple-cherr...
The genetic and environmental structure of verbal and visuospatial memory in young adults and children.
Published in Neuropsychology
The extent to which verbal (VM) and visuospatial memory (VSM) tests measure the same or multiple constructs is unclear. Likewise the relationship between VM and VSM across development is not known. These questions are addressed using genetically informative data, studying two age cohorts (young adults and children) of twins and siblings. VM and VSM...
