报告摘要

      Conceptual knowledge serves as a foundation for various cognitive processes including language, object recognition and use, reasoning, and problem solving. How is conceptual knowledge represented in the brain? I will present a series of experiments in my lab that explored this issue, focusing on object concepts in relation to objects’ shape and motion knowledge. We used a convergent of approaches including brain imaging studies with healthy, blind, and brain-damaged individuals. The overall results indicate a distributed representation of object conceptual knowledge across various modality-specific sensory-motor systems, which are bound functionally and anatomically by complex connections.
