The basal ganglia have traditionally been viewed as motor processing nuclei; however,
functional neuroimaging evidence has implicated these structures in more complex …

It is generally held that noun processing is specifically sub-served by temporal areas, while
the neural underpinnings of verb processing are located in the frontal lobe. However, this …

Functional neuroimaging research has recently revealed brain network interactions during
performance on creative thinking tasks—particularly among regions of the default and …

Many recent neuroimaging studies have investigated the representation of semantic
memory for actions in the brain. We used activation likelihood estimation (ALE) meta …

The role of speech production mechanisms in difficult speech comprehension is the subject
of on-going debate in speech science. Two Activation Likelihood Estimation (ALE) analyses …

No ability is more valued in the modern innovation‐fueled economy than thinking creatively
on demand, and the “thinking cap” capacity to augment state creativity (ie, to try and succeed …

A central issue in research on speech production is whether or not the retrieval of words
from the mental lexicon is a competitive process. An important experimental paradigm to …

Tests that require memory retrieval strongly improve long-term retention in comparison to
continued studying. For example, once learners know the translation of a word, restudy …

Although it is widely accepted that nouns and verbs are functionally independent linguistic
entities, it is less clear whether their processing recruits different brain areas. This issue is …

When we speak, we constantly retrieve and select words for production in the face of
multiple possible alternatives. Our ability to respond in such underdetermined situations is …
