摘要:According to many models of lexical access, semantic errors arise from competition among words that share semantic features. This captures the feet that errors and targets typically share category membership (cow -> horse). But what about semantic errors that are instead associatively related (cx>w —> milk)? These may be symptomatic of feulty executive regulation of semantic search or selection (Jeferies & Lambon Ralph, 2006). We present a behavioral and anatomical exploration of associative semantic errors in picture naming.
