{"pk":27140,"title":"The Cognitive Architecture of Recursion: Behavioral and fMRI Evidence from\nthe Visual, Musical and Motor Domains","subtitle":null,"abstract":"In this manuscript, we summarize the results of our research\nprogram aiming at describing the cognitive architecture\nunderlying the representation of recursive hierarchical\nembedding. After conducting a series of behavioral and fMRI\nexperiments in the visual, musical and motor domains, we\nfound that, behaviorally, the acquisition of recursive rules\nseems supported by cognitive resources that are general\nacross domains. However, when we test well-trained\nparticipants in the fMRI, their representation of recursion\nseems supported by activating schemas stored in (visual,\nmusical and motor) domain-specific repositories. This\nsuggests that the resources necessary to acquire recursive\nrules are different from those necessary to utilize these\nrules after extensive training.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"recursion; hierarchy; embedding; visual; motor;\nmusic"}],"section":"Posters: Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8bh601c3","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Mauricio","middle_name":"de Jesus","last_name":"Dias Martins","name_suffix":"","institution":"Humboldt Universität zu Berlin","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2017-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/27140/galley/16776/download/"}]}
