Radboud Repository (Radboud University)A theory of lexical access in speech production [target paper]
5,053 Citations1999Willem J. M. Levelt, Ardi Roelofs +1 more
The model can handle some of the main observations in the domain of speech errors (the major empirical domain for most other theories of lexical access), and the theory opens new ways of approaching the cerebral organization of speech production by way of high-temporal-resolution imaging.

Cognitive neuropsychology is a branch of psychology that investigates the role of language in the development of personality and the role that language plays in the formation of identity.
Psychological ReviewA distributed, developmental model of word recognition and naming.
3,761 Citations1989Mark S. Seidenberg, James L. McClelland
A parallel distributed processing model of visual word recognition and pronunciation is described, which consists of sets of orthographic and phonological units and an interlevel of hidden units and which early in the learning phase corresponds to that of children acquiring word recognition skills.

Analysis of the ability of networks to reproduce data on acquired surface dyslexia support a view of the reading system that incorporates a graded division of labor between semantic and phonological processes, and contrasts in important ways with the standard dual-route account.

842 Citations1997C.J. Price, Karl Friston
The concepts and procedures of "cognitive conjunction," a new approach to designing and analyzing cognitive activation experiments, are introduced and it is indicated that irrespective of whether subjects name words, objects, letters, or colors, there is activation of the left posterior basal temporal lobe, theleft frontal operculum, the left thalamus, and the midline cerebellum.

635 Citations1986Alfonso Caramazza
An analysis of the logic of valid inferences about the structure of normal cognitive processes from the study of impaired cognitive performance in brain-damaged patients is presented and it is shown that given certain assumptions, only the single-case method allows invalid inferences from the analysis of impaired performance.

522 Citations1988Fernando Cuetos
The results throw doubt on the suggestion that the Late Closure strategy is favoured (in English) mainly because it is efficient in information processing terms and suggest that different languages make use of parsing strategies in an essentially arbitrary way.
Brain and LanguageThe logic of neuropsychological research and the problem of patient classification in aphasia
486 Citations1984Alfonso Caramazza
A critical analysis is presented of the assumptions that must be made to use the data from aphasia to constrain models of normal language processing and the implication of these assumptions for patient classification and research methodology in aphasIA is considered.
BrainSEMANTIC ACCESS DYSLEXIA
331 Citations1979Elizabeth K. Warrington, Tim Shallice
The orthodox interpretation of the dyslexia without dysgraphia in terms of a disconnection syndrome is shown to be inappropriate, at least for the present case, where the deficit appears to be within the semantic domain.
Behavioral and Brain SciencesNeuropsychological inference with an interactive brain: A critique of the “locality” assumption
314 Citations1994Martha J. Farah
It is argued that this “locality” assumption is probably not correct in general and inferences about the functional architecture can nevertheless be made from neuropsychological data with an alternative set of assumptions, according to which human information processing is graded, distributed, and interactive.

241 Citations1996Vincent P. Clark, Katrina Keil +4 more
Results show that PET and fMRI identify functional areas with similar anatomical locations and reveals interindividual variation in the anatomical location of higher-level processing areas with greater anatomical precision.
Brain and LanguageA Critical Review of PET Studies of Phonological Processing
231 Citations1996David Poeppel
It is argued that this sparse-overlap result is due to insufficiently detailed task decomposition and task-control matching, to insufficient contact with cognitive psychology, psycholinguistics, and linguistic theory, to some inherent problems in using substractive PET methodology to study the neural representation and processing of language.

204 Citations1991Scott M. Sokol, Michael McCloskey +2 more
Data is presented from two brain-damaged patients with calculation impairments in support of claims about the cognitive mechanisms underlying simple arithmetic performance to make the following theoretical claims: that some arithmetic facts are stored in the form of individual fact representations, and that calculation algorithms may include special-case procedures that function to increase the speed or efficiency of problem solving.
CognitionOn considerations of method and theory governing the use of clinical categories in neurolinguistics and cognitive neuropsychology: The case against agrammatism
193 Citations1985William Badecker, Alfonso Caramazza
It is argued that there are compelling reasons to question the coherence of agrammatism as a psychological entity and that the single case methodology for the study of aphasia can address these goals by taking patterns of performance on particular linguistic tasks as basic units of analysis, and that this approach avoids the methodological pitfalls faced by studies which take clinical categories as starting points.

This review of psycholinguistically oriented research on aphasia supports the effort to construct integrated theories of language functioning on the basis of both normal and pathological performances.
Cognitive ScienceWhat do double dissociations prove?
157 Citations2001Guy Van Orden
The utility of assuming modularity is questioned, as it examines a paradigmatic double dissociation of reading modules, which illustrates two general problems of modularity.

Brain and LanguageWhat the classical aphasia categories can't do for us, and why
116 Citations1984Myrna F. Schwartz
This thesis is put forward that this goal will not be served by the continued exploitation of the classical (Wernicke-Lichtheim) taxonomic categories, and cannot by virtue of their "polytypic" structure support the relevant neurolinguistic generalizations.
Cognitive NeuropsychologyOn reducing language to biology
106 Citations1984Jacques Mehler, John Morton +1 more
Data from word recognition and speech perception is used to show that cogent accounts of the psychological processes involved require the establishment of purely psychological constructs, which are to be judged in terms of their explanatory usefulness rather than their compatibility with formal descriptions.
Philosophy of ScienceFunctional Neuroimages Fail to Discover Pieces of Mind in the Parts of the Brain
106 Citations1997Guy C. Van Orden, Kenneth R. Paap
The method of positron emission tomography (PET imaging) illustrates the circular logic popular in subtractive neuroimaging and linear reductive cognitive psychology, which has failed to yield general, reliable, componential accounts.

Brain and CognitionThe case against the case against group studies
71 Citations1989Edgar Zurif, Howard Gardner +1 more
It is claimed that the focus on group vs. single case studies is unprofitable and that a more useful question is how best to form abstractions of relevance to cognitive theory.
Journal of Experimental Psychology Learning Memory and CognitionCognitive neuropsychology is more than single-case studies.
66 Citations1993Lynn C. Robertson, Robert T. Knight +2 more
It is argued that cognitive modularity is best studied by group design, that the possibility of neural reorganization in patients should be tested through converging evidence from different populations using various methods, and that cognitive neuropsychology can benefit from being a part of cognitive neuroscience where both neural and cognitive mechanisms underlying normal cognition are relevant.

34 Citations1986William Badecker, Alfonso Caramazza
C categories like agrammatism are viewed as impediments to useful analysis in neurolinguistics and cognitive neuropsychology, and their place in this research is reaffirmed: they have none.
Brain and CognitionAn evaluation of assumptions underlying the single-patient-only position in neuropsychological research: A reply
32 Citations1991Edgar Zurif, David Swinney +1 more
It is argued that even if there is no prior theory to justify patient classification, this does not preclude group studies; syndromes are what the world gives us--they constrain theory, permitting groups to be formed for research purposes.
