Patients with semantic aphasia have impaired control of semantic retrieval, often
accompanied by executive dysfunction following left hemisphere stroke. Many but not all of …

Semantic memory refers to our long-term knowledge of word and object meaning. There is
increasing evidence that rather than being a passive warehouse of knowledge, semantic …

Background: Semantic cognition depends on (a) semantic representations that code
knowledge and (b) executive control processes that regulate access to this information such …

Semantic memory and its breakdown is a fundamental field of cognitive science, merging
theoretical models of semantic cognition, with its clinical implications in neural degradation …

Executive control is impaired from the early stages of A lzheimer's Disease (AD) and this
produces deregulated semantic cognition (Corbett, Jefferies, Burns, & Lambon Ralph,; …

People use cognitive control across many contexts in daily life, yet it remains unclear how
cognitive control is used in contexts involving language. Distinguishing language-specific …

We present a case-series comparison of patients with cross-modal semantic impairments
consequent on either (a) bilateral anterior temporal lobe atrophy in semantic dementia (SD) …

Several imaging and lesion-based studies suggest that cognitive control plays an important
role in semantic ambiguities resolution [1]. However, two recent behavioral studies indicate …

Language breakdown after stroke has been extensively studied in the aphasiology
literature. However, strokes are diffuse lesions and can result in cognitive impairments …

To understand the meanings of words and objects, we need to have knowledge about these
