While study of this topic has largely been the domain of cognitive psychology, neuroscience has also made progress in uncovering the processes underlying these abilities. In an attempt to synthesize work from both literatures, this review: (1) summarizes the current neuroimaging and patient research pertaining to narrative comprehension and production, (2) attempts to integrate this information with the processes described by the discourse models of cognitive psychology, and (3) uses this information to examine the possible interrelation between comprehension and production. Story comprehension appears to entail a network of frontal, temporal and cingulate areas that support working-memory and theory-of-mind processes. The specific functions associated with these areas are congruent with the processes proposed by cognitive models of comprehension. Moreover, these same areas appear necessary for story production, and the causal-temporal ordering of selected information may partially account for this common ground. A basic description of comprehension and production based solely on neuropsychological evidence is presented to complement current cognitive models, and a number of avenues for future research are suggested.Fri Apr 27 13:20:05 CEST 2007New YorkStructure and functions of the human prefrontal cortexAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences1253-264Forms of reasoning: Insight into prefrontal functions?7691995CiHB IJCEELL cerme6 context cortex events learning mythesis narrative neurocognitive prefrontal In this paper we consider the prospects for linking research on the psychology of thinking and reasoning with research on the structure and functions of prefrontal cortex. It is generally accepted that damage to the prefrontal cortex leads to deficits in planning, complex learning, attentional control, and memory for the spatio-temporal context of events. However, these deficits do not correspond in any straightforward manner to the varieties of thinking as typically defined by cognitive psychologists, which include deductive and inductive inference, categorization, judgment and decision making, and problem solving. We consider whether certain central representational and processing elements postulated by cognitive theories of human thinking -- symbols and variables, analogical mapping, and conditional rules -- can be linked with models of frontal functions.Mon Aug 14 15:55:12 CEST 2006Behavior and Brain Sciences6744--745Long-term memories, features, and novelty262003neurocognitive memory IJCEELL short-term mind narrative long-term neuroscience neurocognitiveCommunity for tag(s) neurocognitive
