Modeling Affirmative and Negated Action Processing in the Brain with Lexical and Compositional Semantic Models (P19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing studies have shown that distributional semantic models can be used to decode fMRI patterns associated with specific aspects of semantic composition, such as the negation function. |
| Approach: | They apply lexical and compositional semantic models to decode fMRI patterns associated with negated and affirmative sentences containing hand-action verbs. |
| Outcome: | The proposed models show reduced decoding of sentences where the verb is in the negated context, as compared to the affirmative one, within brain regions implicated in action-semantic processing. |
