Word finding difficulty is a frequent complaint in older age and disease states, but treatment
options are lacking for such verbal retrieval deficits. Better understanding of the …

Semantic interference (SI) and phonological facilitation (PF) effects occur when multiple
representations are co-activated simultaneously in complex naming paradigms …

Spoken language production involves lexical-semantic access and phonological encoding.
A theoretically important question concerns the relative time course of these two cognitive …

When a picture is repeatedly named in the context of semantically related pictures,(
homogeneous context) responses are slower than when the picture is repeatedly named in …

Intracranial EEG (iEEG) performed during the pre-surgical evaluation of refractory epilepsy
provides a great opportunity to investigate the neurophysiology of human cognitive functions …

Naming an object involves quick retrieval of a target word from long-term memory. Research
using the semantic interference paradigm has shown that objects take longer to name when …

The procedure of electrical stimulation during SEEG for eliciting seizures and for functional
mapping should be done in conjunction to answer the question whether there is a …

Reading relies on the ability to map written symbols with speech sounds. The left ventral
occipitotemporal cortex (left-vOT) plays a crucial role in this process. Through the …

The current standard model of language production involves a sensorimotor dorsal stream
connecting areas in the temporo‐parietal junction with those in the inferior frontal gyrus and …

Word production and comprehension both require mapping between the meaning, form, and
syntactical representations of the word. We refer to the collective set of processes involved in …
