Competitive accounts of lexical selection propose that the activation of competitors slows
down the selection of the target. Non-competitive accounts, on the other hand, posit that …

In this review, challenges related to the measurement of word durations in language
production are identified, highlighting gaps in current theoretical frameworks and the …

Sentence production involves mapping from deep structures that specify meaning and
thematic roles to surface structures that specify the order and sequencing of production …

Frontal and temporal white matter pathways play key roles in language processing, but the
specific computations supported by different tracts remain a matter of study. A role in speech …

The latent psychological mechanisms involved in decision-making are often studied with
quantitative models based on evidence accumulation processes. The most prolific example …

According to most models of language production, to name a picture one must first map
semantic features onto lexical items. Even if both sets of representations are intact, problems …

In stroke-induced aphasia, left hemispheric lesions generally disturb the word production
network. The left inferior frontal gyrus (LIFG) and the left middle temporal gyrus (LMTG) are …

Semantic composition is the ability to combine single words to form complex meanings and
is an essential component for successful communication. Evidence from neuroimaging …

The classical neural model of language refers to a cortical network involving frontal, parietal
and temporal regions. However, patients with subcortical lesions of the striatum have …

Cognitive reserve is the ability to actively cope with brain deterioration and delay cognitive
decline in neurodegenerative diseases. It operates by optimizing performance through …
