Gamma EEG activity induced by semantic violation during sentence reading
No full textIn the present research changes in electroencephalographic (EEG) power spectrum induced by semantic violations in Italian sentences were examined. Significant effects related to the sentence correctness were found only within gamma frequency range (similar to 30-100 Hz), with well-formed sentences showing higher gamma levels than sentences containing the violation. Lower gamma band (similar to 30-45 Hz) marked semantic violation at the level of the target word and did not show specific scalp topography. Instead, in addition to the same violation effect, analyses of the two upper gamma bands (upper-1 gamma: similar to 55-75 Hz; upper-2 gamma: similar to 75-100 Hz) revealed, for the word following the target, significant greater gamma levels for correct vs. incorrect sentences specifically over anterior right sites. The functional significance of gamma band and its contribution to psycholinguistic field are discussed, by highlighting its use as an additional tool, with respect to evoked potentials, for investigating linguistic network dynamics associated to sentence processing

No full textThe role of the sound of objects in object identification: evidence from picture naming
No full textIn the present work we were concerned with the role of sound representations in object recognition. In order to address this issue we made use of a picture naming task in which target pictures might be accompanied by a white-noise burst. White-noise was thought to interfere with the representation of the sound possibly associated with the depicted object. We reasoned that if such a representation is critical for the recognition of objects strongly associated with certain sounds, white-noise interference should affect the naming of pictures representing objects with typical sounds leaving the naming of object without typical sounds unaffected. The results were congruent with the predictions and consistent with a view of the semantic representations of objects as collection of related representations, modal in nature, and mandatorily accesse
