Broad domain generality in focal regions of frontal and parietal cortex (2013, neutral): “Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 106(42):17974–17979.”
Left inferior frontal gyrus is critical for response inhibition (2008, background): “, [32]), which shares in common with the Go/ NoGo task the requirement to override automatic but task-inappropriate responses [33], also suggest that LIFG plays an important role in resolving conflicts that arise from incompatible representations [34].”
Author's personal copy Theories of spoken word recognition deficits in Aphasia: Evidence from eye-tracking and computational modeling (2011, neutral): “On the response selection view, the slow, telegraphic speech associated with Broca’s aphasia may be a result of difficulty selecting words for production, especially function words, which have minimal semantic and contextual support (for a related view see also Novick et al., 2005).”
Cognitive control and lexical access in younger and older bilinguals. (2008, background): “Novick, Trueswell, and Thompson-Schill (2005) argue that one important function of Broca’s area is to resolve conflict during lexical processing.”
Clearing the garden-path: improving sentence processing through cognitive control training (2014, background): “…entering the disambiguating region (e.g., ‘‘sparkled brightly’’) of ambiguous sentences first because this is the only region expected to trigger conflict-resolution functions, given the introduction of new evidence that is incompatible with a reader’s prior interpretation (Novick et al., 2005).”
Aperiodic Dynamics of Cell Assemblies Recruited for L1 and L2 Processing of French Wh-Dependencies Highlight a Temporo-Parietal Engagement in Syntax (2026, unknown): “In contrast, Bornkessel-Schlesewsky and Schlesewsky argued that basic “linguistic processing per se only takes place in temporal and parietal regions, but not in frontal cortex” [48] (p. 67), with IFG tied to competing alternatives in ambiguity [49] and in cognitive control tasks [50].”
