Assumption often engages a second assumption that can also be problematic, that of homogeneity of function. That is, by pooling across “activated” (or “deactivated”) voxels, one is assuming that all pooled voxels are “doing the same thing.” Finally, the interpretation of the activity from this cluster 24 Bradley R. Postle of voxels often entails a third, often implicit, assumption, which is that this locally homogeneous activity can be construed as supporting a mental function independent of.

Inconsistencies may be attributable to inferential limitations of the signal‐intensity assumption. Implications of MVPA for ROI‐Based Analyses One corollary of the signal‐intensity assumption – the assumption of the category specificity of neuroimaging signal measured from ROIs that have been defined either anatomically or functionally – has underlain many cognitive neuroscience studies of working memory (including many performed by this author). This section will examine this assumption in the.

Affected by embodied context (Barsalou, 2008). In one such study, participants were given a sentence describing a familiar concept and were asked to make a rapid property attribution judgment. By using different sentence contexts, the experimenters manipulated the implied spatial configuration of the target concept and its relationship to the comprehender. For instance, a sentence such as “Up in the sky there is a duck” implies that the duck is above the observer and has its wings extended, since.

Theories of retrieval ­orientations that originated from neuroimaging research. Furthermore, this assay has been used to examine how retrieval orientations become less precise as people get older. Supplementing Behavioral Dissociations with Neuroimaging Dissociations, e.g., Dual‐Process Theories Another situation in which neuroimaging data can complement behavioral data arises when seeking functional dissociations between hypothetical memory processes. For example, there has been a long‐standing.
