Dear All, Sorry to send a mass email. First, to those of you that came to our talk today - thank you! Second, and this a bit embarrassing, with all the excitement I mislaid my keys somewhere in Ynic. If you found them, do let me know. Thank you, Liat l.levita(a)psych.york.ac.uk

YNiC seminar today
by rem 03 Nov '11

03 Nov '11

Dear Users This afternoon (4.15-5.15 pm in YNiC) Silvia Gennari and Liat Levita will be giving a talk on "Developmental changes in language comprehension: from adolescents to adulthood" Abstract: In this fMRI study we examined how a still immature inhibitory-control circuitry during adolescence affects language comprehension, and in particular, the brain mechanisms engaged in semantic inhibition. To this end, we compared adolescents and adults when reading sentences that require the inhibition of a dominant interpretation. Behavioral differences between adults and adolescents were found in behavioral tasks reflecting poor inhibition. Moreover, significant differences were observed in the neural networks involved during processing indicating that adolescents recruit a wider network of regions than adults. Some regions of this network are specifically linked to inhibition, whereas others are linked to developmental changes more generally. This suggests that developmental changes involve shifting functions across brain regions and tuning the language network towards more focused and efficient processes. Everyone is welcome to attend and refreshments will be provided after the talk. Best wishes Rebecca -- ************************************************************************ Dr. Rebecca E.
