Cognitive psychology

Introduction Language processing and production seem to involve many areas of the brain (Garrett, 1995). Using positron emission tomography (PET), Howard, et al (1992) were able to identify a number of physically separate brain structures that become active during various language processing tasks. They found that physically discrete areas are responsible for auditory and visual word recognition and that these areas are separate from those involved in either word comprehension or production. Similarly, measurements of N400 sensory …

…Finally, the ultimate worth of any research project is its replicability and generalizability. A true assessment of this project must be made by those who attempt to replicate it. If others achieve similar results, then perhaps the inherent problems within this study can be overlooked. If, however, those who apply the research methodology used here fail to reproduce these findings, then perhaps the author's reservations will have been supported.
