This is perhaps most easily seen in music where the meaning of a piece is encoded explicitly by both the pitches of musical notes and their duration. We used these features to operationalise the production of desired qualia of movements as note pitches as compared to movement timing as note durations. Participants listened to and imitated simple melodies as accurately as possible while lying in an ultra-high field 7T MRI scanner. Melodies consisted of either a series of different pitches of equal duration or a single pitch repeated at different durations. Both tasks engaged a broad motor network similar to speech and other complex dynamic movements. However, imitation for timing preferentially activated the ventral striatum of the basal ganglia while imitation for pitch preferentially activated lobule VI of the cerebellum and temporal lobe auditory association areas. These findings are consistent with the role of the basal ganglia in sound sequence learning and with the role of the cerebellum in refining movement based on sensory feedback. Imitating melodies provides a simple but effective framework for manipulating the qualities and timings of sound production by the speech-motor system, even when no words are spoken.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50118,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Neurolinguistics","volume":"74 ","pages":"Article 101243"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143177071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This challenge also applies to the processes of language production and comprehension, both when they take place in isolation (e.g., in monologue or solo reading) and when they are combined as is the case in dialogue. Crucially, we argue, dialogue brings with it some unique challenges. In this paper, we describe three such challenges within the general framework of control theory, drawing analogies to mechanical and biological systems where possible: (1) the need to distinguish between self- and other-generated utterances; (2) the need to adjust the amount of advance planning (i.e., the degree to which planning precedes articulation) flexibly to achieve timely turn-taking; (3) the need to track changing conversational goals. We show that message-to-sound models of language production (i.e., those that cover the whole process from message generation to articulation) tend to implement fairly simple control architectures. However, we argue that more sophisticated control architectures are necessary to build language production models that can account for both monologue and dialogue.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50118,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Neurolinguistics","volume":"73 ","pages":"Article 101229"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0911604424000393/pdfft?md5=3f517119ed3036b6c63dc89e56e54a90&pid=1-s2.0-S0911604424000393-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142084220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A method for driving long-lasting neural plasticity during language learning would be valuable for those who need or want to achieve fluency in a second language later in life. However, little is known about the effect of neuromodulation methods on language learning. In the current study, we investigated the effect of non-invasive transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) on vocabulary word-learning in healthy young adults. Importantly, we approached this research question by investigating two key parameters of taVNS, stimulation frequency (Experiment 1) and current intensity (Experiment 2). Typically developing young adults completed a 1-h training session in which they learned 30 concrete, Palauan nouns while receiving real or sham stimulation to the left posterior tragus (Experiment 1) or stimulation at various intensities (Experiment 2). Participants completed a Palau-to-English translation test immediately after training and seven days later to quantify learning and retention. The results largely revealed that high frequency stimulation above sensory threshold improved retention of learned words. These results suggest that taVNS may improve retention of vocabulary words in a second language and that stimulation frequency may impact efficacy.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50118,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Neurolinguistics","volume":"73 ","pages":"Article 101225"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141629803","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
