SUMMARY:CLS Speaker Series - Chaleece Sandberg (Penn State University) Possible
Differences in the Organization of Abstract and Concrete Words in the
Semantic System
DESCRIPTION:Possible Differences in the Organization of Abstract \;a
nd Concrete Words in the Semantic System\nIt is well known that performa
nce for concrete words is better than for abstract words in both healthy
adults and persons with aphasia. \;Further\, training abstract wor
ds in persons with aphasia promotes generalization not seen when trainin
g concrete words. While there are several theories that account for the
concreteness effect\, this one-sided generalization remains difficult to
explain. One interesting hypothesis is that of Different Representation
al Frameworks for abstract and concrete words within the semantic networ
k\, such that abstract words are organized via association while concret
e words are taxonomically/categorically organized. We tested this hypoth
esis using a relatedness-judgment task during EEG and fMRI.\n\nFor more

tract and Concrete Words in the Semantic System
It
is well known that performance for concrete words is better than for ab
stract words in both healthy adults and persons with aphasia. Furt
her, training abstract words in persons with aphasia promotes generaliza
tion not seen when training concrete words. While there are several theo
ries that account for the concreteness effect, this one-sided generaliza
tion remains difficult to explain. One interesting hypothesis is that of
Different Representational Frameworks for abstract and concrete words w
ithin the semantic network, such that abstract words are organized via a
ssociation while concrete words are taxonomically/categorically organize
d. We tested this hypothesis using a relatedness-judgment task during EE
G and fMRI.
