Perceptual representations in L1 and L2 spatial and abstract language processing: applying an innovative sentence-diagram verification paradigm.
Front Hum Neurosci
October 2024
School of Languages and Linguistics, Faculty of Arts, The University of Melbourne, Melbourne, VIC, Australia.
Introduction: Perceptual representations in language comprehension were examined using sentence-picture verification tasks. However, concerns have been raised regarding the suitability of concrete pictures for representing abstract concepts compared to image-schematic diagrams. To assess the perceptual representations of spatial and abstract domains in both first language (L1) and second language (L2) processing, the study tests bilingual speakers' mental imagery on the basis of the simulation-based L1 comprehension model and proposes a simulation-based L2 comprehension model, supported by empirical evidence from an innovative sentence-diagram verification paradigm.

High-quality schematic illustrations are fundamental to the publication of scientific achievements in biomedical research, which are crucial for effectively conveying complex biomedical concepts. However, creating such illustrations remains challenging for many researchers due to the need to devote a significant amount of time and effort to accomplish it. To address this need, we present the Generic Diagramming Platform (GDP, https://BioGDP.

Purpose: Anterolateral thigh free flap (ALTFF) is a versatile option for tongue reconstruction after cancer resection. Compartmental tongue surgery (CTS) is a surgical technique whose purpose is to remove the entire oncological compartment with the pathways of tumor spread. Extended glossectomies (EG) follow the same surgical steps and anatomical concepts as CTS but extend beyond hemiglossectomy.

Statistical shape analysis, or morphometrics, is a technique commonly used in evolutionary biology to summarise a population of samples. Theoretical morphometrics extends the current population of samples into a theoretical space. Using the lawn tennis racket as an example, this paper showcases the potential of morphometrics as a tool for inspiring design concepts for novel sporting goods.

Dehumanization of others has been attributed to institutional processes that spread dehumanizing norms and narratives, as well as to individuals' denial of mind to others. We propose that blatant dehumanization also arises when people actively contemplate others' minds. We introduce the construct of imagined otherness-perceiving that a prototypical member of a social group construes an important facet of the social world in ways that diverge from the way most humans understand it-and argue that such attributions catalyze blatant dehumanization beyond the effects of general perceived difference and group identification.
