Thinking in Words: Language as an Embodied Medium of Thought (2014, background): “An example would be so-called hub-and-spoke semantic theories that posit an amodal “hub” in the anterior temporal lobe and modality-specific “spokes” in sensorimotor areas (Binder & Desai, 2011; Jefferies & Lambon Ralph, 2006).”
Semantic Processing in the Anterior Temporal Lobes: A Meta-analysis of the Functional Neuroimaging Literature (2010, background): “However, in contrast to SD and HSVE, these semantic problems are associated with left temporo-parietal and inferior frontal infarcts and not damage to ATLs (Jefferies & Lambon Ralph, 2006 ; Berthier, 2001 ; Chertkow, Bub, Deaudon, & Whitehead, 1997 ).”
Neurobiology of language (2016, background): “…suggests that degradation of semantic structure does occur, but in patients with semantic dementia or aphasic patients with lesions extending to the anterior temporal lobe (an area not included in the lesion profile of Wernicke’s aphasics) (Jefferies & Lambon Ralph, 2006; Walker et al., 2011).”
Both the Middle Temporal Gyrus and the Ventral Anterior Temporal Area Are Crucial for Multimodal Semantic Processing: Distortion-corrected fMRI Evidence for a Double Gradient of Information Convergence in the Temporal Lobes (2012, background): “These are established neuropsychological tests that license an assessment of verbal or nonverbal comprehension (by varying whether the concepts are represented as pictures or their written names; Jefferies & Lambon Ralph, 2006 ; Bozeat et al, 2000 ).”
Semantic diversity: A measure of semantic ambiguity based on variability in the contextual usage of words (2012, background): “…disadvantage for ambiguous words in semantic processing in two groups of subjects: (a) patients diagnosed with semantic aphasia (SA; Head, 1926; Jefferies & Lambon Ralph, 2006) — a form of aphasia in which verbal and non-verbal comprehension impairments are observed following left hemisphere…”
