An argument that the meaning of written or auditory linguistic signals is not derived from the
input but results from the brain's internal construction process. When we read a text or listen …

One approach to understanding how the human cognitive system stores and operates with
quantifiers such as “some,”“many,” and “all” is to investigate their interaction with the …

Different classes of quantifiers provably require different verification algorithms with different
complexity profiles. The algorithm for proportional quantifiers, like 'most', is more complex …

Background Neuro-navigated repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is
potentially effective in enhancing cognitive performance in the spectrum of Alzheimer's …

The capacity for language has evolved remarkably quickly in recent human history. Its
advent likely coincided with a range of cognitive innovations not found elsewhere at this …

This paper proposes a novel, cognitively motivated theory of natural language quantification
and presents experimental evidence for it. Taking into account recent findings from number …

Quantifiers such as many and some are thought to depend in part on the conceptual
representation of number knowledge, while object nouns such as cookie and boy appear to …

Sentence comprehension is highly practiced and largely automatic, but this belies the
complexity of the underlying processes. We used functional neuroimaging to investigate …

Though each and every are both distributive universal quantifiers, a common theme in
linguistic and psycholinguistic investigations into them has been that each is somehow more …

It is generally assumed that bare numerals (eg, three) have two readings: the exactly and the
at least reading. It has been a matter of debate whether one of these two readings is derived …
