Background The ability to efficiently select specific aspects of our semantic representations
that are relevant for current goals or the context is supported by semantic control processes …

Semantic processing can break down in qualitatively distinct ways in different
neuropsychological populations. Previous studies have shown that patients with multimodal …

Semantic cognition—semantically driven verbal and nonverbal behavior—is composed of at
least two interactive principal components: conceptual representations and executive control …

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

Semantic cognition, as described by the controlled semantic cognition (CSC) framework
(Rogers et al.,, Neuropsychologia, 76, 220), involves two key components: activation of …

Neuropsychological studies suggest a distinction between (a) semantic knowledge and (b)
control processes that shape the retrieval of conceptual information to suit the task or …

Theories of semantic memory based on neuropsychological findings have posited a
distinction between stored semantic representations and the mechanisms used to access …

Research suggests that semantic memory deficits can occur in at least three ways. Patients
can (1) show amodal degradation of concepts within the semantic store itself, such as in …

Semantic Aphasia (SA) patients have difficulty accessing semantic knowledge in both verbal
and non-verbal tasks appropriately for the current context. Automatically activated semantic …

Visuo-spatial context and emotional valence are powerful cues to episodic retrieval, but the
contribution of these inputs to semantic cognition has not been widely investigated. We …
