semantic processing in a sentence

Examples

1. Other areas, such as more anterior regions of temporal cortex, may be involved in the representation of nonperceptual ( e . g . verbal ) conceptual knowledge, perhaps in some categorically-organized fashion . " It is suggested that within the temperoparietal network, the anterior temporal lobe is relatively more important for semantic processing, and posterior language regions are relatively more important for lexical retrieval.
2. Willems and Hagoort's research suggest that " processing evoked by gestures is qualitatively similar to that of words at the level of semantic processing . " This conclusion is supported through findings from experiments by Skipper where the use of gestures led to " a division of labor between areas related to language or action ( Broca's area and premotor / primary motor cortex respectively ) ", The use of gestures in combination with speech allowed the brain to decrease the need for " semantic control ", Because gestures aided in understanding the relayed message, there was not as great a need for semantic selection or control that would otherwise be required of the listener through Broca's area.
