Доклад Анны Лауринавичюте "Разрешение лексической неоднозначности: данные глазодвигательного эксперимента"

11 декабря состоялся доклад Анны Лауринавичюте, на котором она рассказала о недавно опубликованном исследовании движений глаз при афазии

Anna Laurinavichyute presented a study (you can download the respective article here) which aimed to identify general and syndrome-specific deficits in the lexical processing of individuals with non-fluent and fluent aphasia compared to individuals without cognitive, neurological or language impairments. The time course of lexical access as well as lexical selection and integration was studied using a visual-world paradigm in three groups of Russian speakers: 36 individuals in the control group, 15 individuals with non-fluent aphasia and eight individuals with fluent aphasia.

The obtained results suggest a discrepancy between online speech processing and offline question-answering patterns, as well as point at certain impairments of online processing in aphasic participants. Participants with non-fluent aphasia experience difficulties activating multiple word meanings simultaneously, while participants with fluent aphasia fail to inhibit irrelevant lexical activation.
