{ "pk": 32817, "title": "Language and the Primate Brain", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "New data on the large number of modality-specific areas in the post-central cortex of several non-human primates, and recent anatomical and functional studies of the human brain suggest that very little of the cortex consists of poly-modal 'association' areas. These observations are used to reinterpret psychological and neuropsychological data on language comprehension in normal and brain-damaged humans. I argue that language comprehension in sighted people might best be thought of as a kind of code-directed scene comprehension that draws heavily upon specifically visual, and probably largely prelinguistic processing constraints. The key processes of word-recognition and the assembly of visual word meaning patterns into interacting chains, however, may be mediated in part by species-specific activity patterns in secondary auditory cortex similar", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [], "section": "Paper Presentations -- Neuroscience Models of Language", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1565v3ng", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Martin", "middle_name": "I.", "last_name": "Sereno", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of California, San Diego", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "1991-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/32817/galley/23877/download/" } ] }
