1. 1. Semantic Framing of Speech : Emotional and Topical Cues in Perception of Poorly Specified Speech

   Författare :Björn Lidestam; Björn Lyxell; Staffan Hygge; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Speech perception; speechreading; facial expressions; priming; phonemes; semantics; lipreading; auditory perception; cognition; paralinguistics; emotional content; Läppavläsning; Psychology; Psykologi;

   Sammanfattning : The general aim of this thesis was to test the effects of paralinguistic (emotional) and prior contextual (topical) cues on perception of poorly specified visual, auditory, and audiovisual speech. The specific purposes were to (1) examine if facially displayed emotions can facilitate speechreading performance; (2) to study the mechanism for such facilitation; (3) to map information-processing factors that are involved in processing of poorly specified speech; and (4) to present a comprehensive conceptual framework for speech perception, with specification of the signal being considered.

3. 2. Subliminal or not? : An appraisal of semantic processing in the near absence of visual awareness

   Författare :Anders Sand; Mats Nilsson; Joakim Westerlund; Zoltan Dienes; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Subliminal priming; Signal detection theory; Bayesian statistics; Visual masking; Consciousness; Awareness; Unconscious processing; Semantic priming; Psychology; psykologi;

   Sammanfattning : Stimuli that cannot be perceived (i.e., that are subliminal) can still elicit neural responses in an observer, but can such stimuli influence behavior and higher-order cognition? Empirical evidence for such effects has periodically been accepted and rejected over the last six decades. LÄS MER

4. 3. Thoughts in Motion : The Role of Long-Term L1 and Short-Term L2 Experience when Talking and Thinking of Caused Motion

   Författare :Guillermo Montero-Melis; Emanuel Bylund; T. Florian Jaeger; Henriëtte Hendriks; Lars Fant; Barbara C. Malt; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Linguistic relativity; language and thought; conceptualization; thinking for speaking; semantic typology; lexicalization patterns; events; caused motion; bilingualism; second language acquisition; transfer; adaptation; priming; Spanish; Swedish; Bilingualism; tvåspråkighet;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis is about whether language affects thinking. It deals with the linguistic relativity hypothesis, which proposes that the language we speak influences the way we think. This hypothesis is investigated in the domain of caused motion (e.g. LÄS MER

5. 4. Exploration des mécanismes non conscients de la perception de la parole: approches comportementales et électroencéphalographiques

   Författare :Carine Signoret; Fabien Perrin; France Lyon Université de Lyon INSERM U1028 CNRS UMR5292 Lyon Neuroscience Research Center; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; speech; detection; semantic priming; eeg; consciousness;

   Sammanfattning : Although a lot of information is available from our environment at every moment, only a small part gives rise to a conscious percept. It is then legitimate to wonder which mechanisms are involved in the perception phenomenon. LÄS MER

7. 5. When I show the Beatles then you say: ‛Ramones!’ : imaging semantic memory in Alzheimer’s disease and semantic dementia

   Författare :Raffaella M Crinelli; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Elderly people contacting the health care system because of suspected dementia very often report word forgetfulness, a clinical condition referred as anomia, often one of the first signs of cognitive decline. Considering the complexity of human language it is no wonder that dementia disorders can affect language processing, which in its turn relies heavily on the intactness of the semantic memory system.
