Concepts, Control, and Context: A Connectionist Account of Normal and Disordered Semantic Cognition
@article{Hoffman2018ConceptsCA, title={Concepts, Control, and Context: A Connectionist Account of Normal and Disordered Semantic Cognition}, author={Paul Hoffman and James L. McClelland and Matthew. A. Lambon Ralph}, journal={Psychological Review}, year={2018}, volume={125}, pages={293 - 328} }
Semantic cognition requires conceptual representations shaped by verbal and nonverbal experience and executive control processes that regulate activation of knowledge to meet current situational demands. A complete model must also account for the representation of concrete and abstract words, of taxonomic and associative relationships, and for the role of context in shaping meaning. We present the first major attempt to assimilate all of these elements within a unified, implemented…

Varieties of abstract concepts and their grounding in perception or action
- Psychology
- 2020
Abstract For a very long time, theorizing in the cognitive sciences was dominated by the assumption that abstract concepts, which lack a perceivable referent, can only be handled by amodal or verbal…
The neurocognitive basis of knowledge about object identity and events: dissociations reflect opposing effects of semantic coherence and control
- PsychologyPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B
- 2019
It is proposed that tasks tapping event semantics often require greater shaping of conceptual retrieval than comparison tasks, since these elements of the authors' knowledge are inherently flexible, with relevant features depending on the context.
Images of the unseen: extrapolating visual representations for abstract and concrete words in a data-driven computational model
- PsychologyPsychological Research
- 2020
Results show that participants' judgements were in line with model predictions even for the most abstract words, suggesting that the authors can tap into their previous experience to create possible visual representation they don't have.

Abstraction and concepts: when, how, where, what and why?
- PsychologyLanguage, Cognition and Neuroscience
- 2019
This Special Issue brings together developmental, experimental, computational and cognitive neuroscientific perspectives on abstraction to highlight that context–the developmental contexts of the authors' first episodic experiences, and the linguistic contexts that accompany the development of conceptual knowledge in both children and adults–is at the root of conceptualknowledge.
Decoding the information structure underlying the neural representation of concepts
- Psychology, BiologyProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 2022
It is found that lexical semantic information can be reliably decoded from a wide range of heteromodal cortical areas in the frontal, parietal, and temporal cortex, and in most of these areas, a striking advantage is found for experience-based representational structures, with little evidence for independent taxonomic or distributional organization.

Situational systematicity: A role for schema in understanding the differences between abstract and concrete concepts
- PsychologyCognitive neuropsychology

Viewing concepts as schema provides insight into (i) the situation-based dynamics of concept learning and representation and (ii) the functional significance of the brain regions and their interactions that comprise the schema control network.

The authors present a parallel distributed processing implementation of this theory, in which semantic representations emerge from mechanisms that acquire the mappings between visual representations of objects and their verbal descriptions, to understand the structure of impaired performance in patients with selective and progressive impairments of conceptual knowledge.
Conceptual Structure and the Structure of Concepts: A Distributed Account of Category-Specific Deficits
- PsychologyBrain and Language

A new account of the fine-grained structure of semantic categories derived from neuropsychological, behavioral, and developmental data is presented, claiming that the distinctiveness of functional features correlated with perceptual features varies across semantic domains and that category structure emerges from the complex interaction of these variables.

The evidence supports a hierarchical model of knowledge representation in which modal systems provide a mechanism for concept acquisition and serve to ground individual concepts in external reality, whereas broadly conjunctive, supramodal representations play an equally important role in concept association and situation knowledge.

By relating neuroanatomical structure and cellular‐level learning mechanisms with system‐level cognitive function, this model offers a neurobiological account of category‐general and category‐specific semantic areas based on the different cortical distributions of the underlying semantic circuits.

These findings are consistent with the notion that a neural network incorporating the left inferior prefrontal and temporo-parietal areas (damaged in SA) underpins regulation of semantic activation across both verbal and nonverbal modalities.

The results indicated significant and unique structure in all four modalities: perceptually, concepts organize based on prominent features such as shape, size, color, and parts; functionally, they group based on use and interaction; encyclopedically, they arrange based on commonality in location or behavior; and verbally, theyGroup associatively or relationally.
