Language and Cognition01:27

Language and Cognition

374
Language serves as a bridge between ideas and communication, influencing how individuals perceive and interact with the world. Psychologists have long debated whether language shapes thought or vice versa. This discussion gained grip with Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s, who proposed that language determines thought, a concept known as linguistic determinism. They suggested that the vocabulary and structure of a language influence how its speakers think and perceive reality.

Higher Mental Functions of the Brain: Language

911
Language is a system of communication that allows the expression of thoughts, ideas, and feelings. The brain processes language in both hemispheres.
Language formation and comprehension take place in the dominant hemisphere. The dominant hemisphere is responsible for understanding the meaning of spoken, written, or sign language, as well as the ability to communicate. For most people, the left hemisphere is the dominant one. The right hemisphere, then, gives tone and emotional context to the...

Self-Discrepancy Theory02:45

Self-Discrepancy Theory

18.4K
One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Lateralization01:28

Lateralization

362
Brain lateralization refers to the division of mental processes and functions between the two hemispheres of the brain, a phenomenon that optimizes neural efficiency and underpins complex abilities in humans. This specialization allows each hemisphere to perform tasks where it has a comparative advantage, facilitating more refined cognitive capabilities across different domains.

Facial Feedback Hypothesis01:24

Facial Feedback Hypothesis

186
Charles Darwin proposed that facial expressions are an evolutionary adaptation for communication. He argued that these expressions are not influenced by culture but are universal across species. For example, a snarling expression with exposed teeth signals a threat in many animals, including humans. Darwin also suggested that displaying an emotion can intensify the feeling. Smiling, for example, could enhance one's sense of happiness. This idea laid the foundation for understanding the role...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Auditory Perception
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • The brain suppresses the conscious perception of self-generated speech via corollary discharge.
  • This suppression is linked to reduced auditory N1 component activity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the neural mechanisms of agency and ownership in self-generated speech perception.
  • To analyze event-related potentials (ERPs) associated with auditory processing of spoken and played-back voices.

Main Methods:

  • Recorded event-related potentials (ERPs) from 42 healthy subjects.
  • Compared N1 and P2 components elicited by spoken vowels (talk), self-recorded playback (listen-self), and external voice playback (listen-other).

Main Results:

  • N1 amplitude was smaller in the 'talk' condition compared to both 'listen-self' and 'listen-other' conditions.
  • No significant N1 amplitude differences were found between 'listen-self' and 'listen-other' conditions.
  • No differences in P2 component amplitude or N1/P2 peak latency were observed across conditions.

Conclusions:

  • Corollary discharge dampens sensory responses to self-generated speech, confirming agency mechanisms.
  • Auditory processing of one's own voice playback is neurophysiologically similar to processing an external voice, supporting ownership experience findings.
