Which brain area broadly represents meaning?
Anterior Temporal poles
1 of 37
What is semantic dementia?
A progressive degenerative brain disease which particularly affects anterior temporal regions
2 of 37
In semantic demantia, where is there MOST damage
Left hemisphere
3 of 37
Are deficits in semantic dementia multi modal?
Yes
4 of 37
In semantic dementia, will a patient show impaired object recognition from vision aswell as sound, taste etc?
Yes
5 of 37
Are deficits in semantic dementia category specific?
No
6 of 37
In a study by Hodges et al (1995), what was SD perfomance in picture naming?
As the disease progressed, performance decreased as semantic categories became more 'blurred'
7 of 37
In semantic dementia (SD), what tend to be lost first?
Distinctive features of objects
8 of 37
Can patients with SD copy images well if they are infront of them?
Yes

Mayberry et all (2011) (Jocn 2011), What kind of responses did pps show to 'emu'?
Atypical, not likely to say it was a bird

Mayberry et all (2011) (Jocn 2011), What kind of responses did pps show to 'butterfly'?
Overgeneralisation, more likely to say it was a bird
11 of 37
What is the hub and spoke theory of knowledge?
At the temporal poles (hubs), knowledge of different aspects of meaning are brought together from interlinked 'spoke' sites
12 of 37
In a study by Pobric et al (2010), which areas were TMS applied to?
Anterior temporal poles, Inferior parietal lobule, Occipital pole
13 of 37
What kind of objects were used in Pobric et al (2010)?
Highly manipulable objects (e.g brush), Low manipulable objects (lettuce)
14 of 37
In Pobric et al (2010), what was predicted for the disruption to anterior temporal poles?
Affected naming for both high and low manipulable objects (not category specific)
15 of 37
In Pobric et al (2010), what was predicted for the disruption to inferior parietal lobes?
Affected naming for high manipulable objects (category specific) rather than low
16 of 37
Did results from Pobric et al support predictions?
Yes
17 of 37
What kind of properties do LIVING things tend to be known for?
Their sensory-perceptual properties
18 of 37
What kind of properties do NON-LIVING things tend to be known for?
Their functional properties
19 of 37
What was patient JBR poor at naming?
Non-living, known from SENSORY rather than functional properties, evidence against the living/non-living distinction
20 of 37
Which area does Herpes Simplex Encephalitis tend to affect?
Medial temporal lobes
21 of 37
What is categorised as 'pure word deafness'?
Can hear the sounds of speech but cannot discriminate phonemes ESPECIALLy consonants
22 of 37
What are patients with pure word deafness NOT helped by?
Shouting
23 of 37
What areas are connected by a ventral route?
Auditory cortex to anterior temporal lobes
24 of 37
What does damage to Brocas area (left inferior frontal gyrus) create problems in?
Agrammatism (sentence production and comprehension)
25 of 37
What kind of route is taken for repeating words we have never heard before?
A dorsal non-semantic route
26 of 37
Can patients with deep dysphasia repeat unfamiliar words and non-words?
No
27 of 37
Do patients with deep dysphasia make semantic errors in reading FAMILIAR words
Yes
28 of 37
What kind of damage do people with deep dysphasia typically have?
Dorsal damage (partial ventral) and damaged semantic representations
29 of 37
What is semantic memory considered to be?
Amodal; same knowledge base regardless of modality
30 of 37
What is represented first in Collins and Quinlans (1969) early model?
Superordinate informantion (hierarchy)
31 of 37
What are pps faster at classifying in Collins and Quinlans (1969) early model?
A robin as a bird, as you dont have to go as far up the hierarchy
32 of 37
What did Rogers (2006) find about activation along the ventral route in speech comprehension?
Aspects of the temporal lobe actvated depending on the specificity of the infor
33 of 37
What kind of activation pattern was shown in Rogers et al (2000)?
A posterior anterior gradient from least to most specific
34 of 37
What is 'sensory' as opposed to 'functional' in the SF distinction?
Knowledge is ABOUT vision
35 of 37
What is 'functional' as opposed to 'sensory' in the SF distinction?
What the object is used for
36 of 37
What is the evolutionary approach posited by Caramazza & Shelton (1998)?
Some concepts are innate in the brain & organization reflects this
