The Blueprint of a Listener | Part 3 of 3 | Mental/Lexical Categorization

by admin on March 5, 2009

Yesterday we discovered how the brain uses the mental lexicon to determine the literal meaning of the communication that is being presented to it. Today we will finish the segment by talking about how the brain fits that information into its own world to determine the interpersonal meaning of that communication to the listener. This begins with referencing against the categorical information stored in the brain. Categorization: As we stated previously, the lexical activation is dependent on all of the prosodic, syntactic, contextual and phonetic information/components we spoke about above. Once a literal meaning has been placed on the word/s [...]

Aside from the necessity of defining what each word is specifically as the initial activation cue, the following functions happen interchangeably and dynamically [...]

This one is a bit dense… So although it isn’t terribly lengthy I decided to break it up into three parts so you don’t fry your brain on it Although this is extremely foundational information, I believe it is important to know what exactly is going on in a person’s brain while you are talking to them. Hopefully this will give you a different view of the neurology that is transpiring as you speak… So let’s get right into it. The most renowned and referenced model of the listener is known as the Geschwind-Wernicke’s model which proposes that there are [...]
