{"pk":29952,"title":"Evidence for representation of symbolic associations and Negation logical operatorin 4 mo old infants","subtitle":null,"abstract":"In experiment 1 in an EEG-ERP design we showed 4 mo-old infants who are trained on 2 associations strictly in labelto object direction and 2 other associations in the opposite direction can retain these representations bi-directionally, asopposed to several other species failing on this task (Urcuioli, 2015), suggesting that the label-object associations areacquired symbolically in early infancy. In Experiment 2 infants were home trained on four label-object associations asin Exp 1 and then received a brief familiarization that when the labels precede a pseudo-word, the upcoming object canbe any except the one originally matched with that label. Results suggest that infants discriminate between incongruentand congruent applications of this negation pseudoword on a novel label and can furthermore generalize to new objects asevidenced by the patterns of their EEG-ERP responses, providing a first direct evidence for negation in early infancy.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Poster Session 3","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0dr9g979","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Milad","middle_name":"","last_name":"Ekramnia","name_suffix":"","institution":"Neurospin","department":""},{"first_name":"Ghislaine","middle_name":"","last_name":"Dehaene","name_suffix":"","institution":"Neurospin","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2020-01-01T23:30:00+05:30","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/29952/galley/19806/download/"}]}
