Further evidence in support of a distributed semantic memory system
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 24 (3):492-493 (2001)
| Abstract | We offer additional points that support a distributed semantic memory: (1) the activation of representations that are modality-specific; (2) patients with inferotemporal lesions fail to activate visual object representations in semantic tasks, although normal subjects do; (3) direct activation of action systems from pictorial information, but not from words; (4) patients who demonstrate superiority with abstract words fail to access perceptual representations. | |||||||||
