Progressive Modularization: Reframing Our Understanding of Typical and Atypical Language Development
D'Souza, Dean; Filippi, Roberto – First Language, 2017
The ability to acquire language is a critical part of human development. Yet there is no consensus on how the skill emerges in early development. Does it constitute an innately-specified, language-processing module or is it acquired progressively? One of Annette Karmiloff-Smith's (1938-2016) key contributions to developmental science addresses…

Knapp, Heather Patterson; Corina, David P. – Brain and Language, 2010
Language is proposed to have developed atop the human analog of the macaque mirror neuron system for action perception and production [Arbib M.A. 2005. From monkey-like action recognition to human language: An evolutionary framework for neurolinguistics (with commentaries and author's response). "Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 28", 105-167; Arbib…

Benasich, April A., Ed.; Fitch, R. Holly, Ed. – Brookes Publishing Company, 2012
Understanding the precursors and early indicators of dyslexia is key to early identification and effective intervention. Now there's a single research volume that brings together the very latest knowledge on the earliest stages of dyslexia and the diverse genetic, neurobiological, and cognitive factors that may contribute to it. Based on findings…

Cutica, Ilaria; Bucciarelli, Monica; Bara, Bruno G. – Brain and Language, 2006
The aim of the present study is to compare the pragmatic ability of right- and left-hemisphere-damaged patients excluding the possible interference of linguistic deficits. To this aim, we study extralinguistic communication, that is communication performed only through gestures. The Cognitive Pragmatics Theory provides the theoretical framework:…

Hagiwara, Hiroko; Sugioka, Yoko; Ito, Takane; Kawamura, Mitsuru; Shiota, Jun Ichi – Language, 1999
Presents a new set of experimental data from brain-damaged aphasic patients as well as from normal individuals on the processing of two nominals suffixes in Japanese--"-sa" and "-mi." (Author/VWL)

Ulatowska, Hanna K.; Baker, William D. – Linguistics, 1977
This paper reports an investigation into the dynamics of language processing. The experiment reported here consisted of administering an anagram test to samples from three populations: left brain-damaged with aphasia; right brain-damaged without aphasia and a normal control group. Data are discussed regarding performance in language processing.…

Laine, Matti – 1985
It is suggested that models of human problem solving are useful in the analysis of word fluency (WF) test performance. In problem-solving terms, WF tasks would require the subject to define and clarify the conditions of the task (task acquisition), select and employ appropriate strategies, and monitor one's performance. In modern neuropsychology,…

Bower, Bruce – Science News, 1987
Reviews cases which support the view that parts of the left hemisphere control languages, no matter how it is expressed, while right-side regions are involved only in skilled nonlinguistic movements and perceptions. Compares recent findings with previously held theories. (ML)

Legg, Carol; Penn, Claire; Temlett, James; Sonnenberg, Beulah – Clinical Linguistics and Phonetics, 2005
A multiple single-case study investigated language characteristics of adolescents with Tourette Syndrome (TS). Ten adolescent subjects with diagnosed TS were evaluated on a test battery sensitive to high level language and discourse impairment. Results were compared to established norms or, where no norms have been established, with results…

Obler, Loraine K. – Language Learning, 1983
Emphasizes the importance of psycholinguistic research in enabling us to discover phenomena which will later be seen to have representations in the brain. In addition, the different ways a second language is learned and used, as well as the differences in the actual language structures themselves, will participate in determining brain organization…

Ratcliff, Roger; Perea, Manuel; Colangelo, Annette; Buchanan, Lori – Brain and Cognition, 2004
Acquired aphasics and dyslexics with even very profound word reading impairments have been shown to perform relatively well on the lexical decision task (e.g., Buchanan, Hildebrandt, & MacKinnon, 1999), but direct contrasts with unimpaired participant's data is often complicated by extremely long reaction times for patient data. The dissociation…

Bhatnagar, Subhash C.; Mandybur, George T. – Brain and Language, 2005
Fifteen neurosurgical subjects, who were undergoing thalamic chronic electrode implants as a treatment for dyskinesia and chronic pain, were evaluated on a series of neurolinguistic functions to determine if the stimulation of the centromedianum nucleus of the thalamus affected language and cognitive processing. Analysis of the data revealed that…

Damasio, Antonio R., Damasio, Hanna – Scientific American, 1992
Discusses the advances made in understanding the brain structures responsible for language. Presents findings made using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomographic (PET) scans to study brain activity. These findings map the structures in the brain that manipulate concepts and those that turn concepts into words. (MCO)

Keller, Eric; Gopnik, Myrna – Rassegna Italiana di Linguistica Applicata, 1990
Discusses the recent change in direction in neuropsychological and neurolinguistic research from a focus on pathological factors to one that combines pathological and normal factors, the major focus being the motor and sensory processes. An attempt is made to outline the future course of this field. (CFM)

Inglis, James; Lawson, J. S. – Science, 1981
A sexual dimorphism in the functional asymmetry of the damaged human brain is reflected in a test-specific laterality effect in male patients, explaining some contradictions concerning the effects of unilateral brain damage on intelligence in studies in which the influence of sex was overlooked.
