The contribution of the study of neurodegenerative disorders to the understanding of human memory
2004

The investigation of human memory in neurodegenerative disorders suggests that the interaction of networks subserving episodic memory, semantic memory, and working memory contributes to higher level cognition ...
Memory impairment is one of the most common complaints affecting patients with neurodegenerative disorders, and its investigation has provided insights into the function and properties of human memory. ...
Semantic dementia, a form of lobar atrophy involving the temporal lobe neocortex, has relative sparing of the hippocampal complex, and such patients have selective impairment of semantic knowledge, which ...

Language in Schizophrenia Part 2: What Can Psycholinguistics Bring to the Study of Schizophrenia…and Vice Versa?
2010
Language and Linguistics Compass
This article reviews a selection of psycholinguistic studies which suggest that sentence-level abnormalities in schizophrenia may stem from a relative overdependence on semantic associative relationships ...

Phonology and syntax in specific language impairment: Evidence from a connectionist model
2003
Brain and Language
Anaphoric resolution was represented in this model by recognizing the semantics of the correct antecedent when a bound pronoun was input. ...
The model provides a causal demonstration of how a perceptual deficit could give rise to grammatical deficits in SLI. ...
This theory is explored in-depth below, where we review the literature on phonology and working memory in sentence processing and then develop a model that explores the effects of a phonological impairment ...

A computational model of semantic memory impairment: Modality specificity and emergent category specificity
1991
Journal of experimental psychology. General
A parallel distributed processing model of semantic memory in which knowledge is subdivided by modality into visual and functional components is described. ...
It is demonstrated how a modality-specific semantic memory system can account for categoryspecific impairments after brain damage. ...
However, we have shown that a simple model of semantic memory with only modalityspecific components can account for all three types of category-specific semantic memory impairment that have been observed ...

Role for memory capacity in sentence comprehension: Evidence from acute stroke
2014
Aphasiology
Furthermore, ischemia that included the short-term/working memory network was sufficient to cause sentence comprehension impairments for syntactically complex sentences. ...
Aims-The present study examined the hypothesis that severity of short-term memory deficit due to acute stroke predicts the severity of impairment in the comprehension of syntactically complex sentences ...
One of the most broadly applied models describing limited-capacity retention and manipulation of information is Baddeley and Hitch's (1974) model of working memory (see Baddeley, 2012 , for a recent ...

The Pivotal Role of Semantic Memory in Remembering the Past and Imagining the Future
2013
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience
Episodic memory refers to a complex and multifaceted process which enables the retrieval of richly detailed evocative memories from the past. ...
In contrast, semantic memory is conceptualized as the retrieval of general conceptual knowledge divested of a specific spatiotemporal context. ...
Converging evidence now points to the role of large-scale neural networks in subtending complex cognitive processes, and the intriguing possibility that semantic processing may play a central role in all ...
