“…We found that, at the gross level, tone and vowel production induced similar brain activation patterns across two different tasks. These results were generally in accordance with previous neuroimaging studies (Gandour et al, 2000;Hsieh et al, 2001) and a brain lesion study (Packard, 1986). Direct comparisons, however, showed significant differences between tone and vowel production in activation level.…”

“…The conclusion from the studies of Hsieh et al (2001) and Gandour et al (2000), however, should be considered only as tentative for two reasons. First, they did not make direct comparisons in brain activation patterns among the three kinds of tasks (perception of tones, consonants, and vowels).…”

“…This problem can be overcome by using modern neuroimaging technology. So far, two neuroimaging studies (Gandour et al, 2000;Hsieh et al, 2001) have included results that are relevant to this issue. Using the PET technique, Hsieh et al (2001) investigated the role of linguistic experiences (Chinese vs. English speakers) in the neural bases for the perception of Chinese tones, consonants, and vowels.…”

Using the PET technique, Hsieh et al (2001) investigated the role of linguistic experiences (Chinese vs. English speakers) in the neural bases for the perception of Chinese tones, consonants, and vowels. They found that native Chinese speakers showed activation in similar brain areas (mainly left inferior frontal gyrus and left precentral gryus) when perceiving tones, consonants, and vowels.…”

“…There is a great deal of evidence that such regulated plasticity exists, here I will cite just a few examples. Hsieh et al (2001) show that the brain areas engaged during speech perception differ between English and Chinese speakers, suggesting that the functional neural circuits involved in speech perception are significantly shaped by linguistic experience. There is also evidence for anatomical and functional differences in the brains of professional musicians as compared with non-musicians (Münte et al, 2002).…”

Self-directedness, integration and higher cognition

In this paper I discuss connections between self-directedness, integration and higher cognition. I present a model of self-directedness as a basis for approaching higher cognition from a situated cognition perspective. According to this model increases in sensorimotor complexity create pressure for integrative higher order control and learning processes for acquiring information about the context in which action occurs. This generates complex articulated abstractive information processing, which forms the major basis for higher cognition. I present evidence that indicates that the same integrative characteristics found in lower cognitive process such as motor adaptation are present in a range of higher cognitive process, including conceptual learning. This account helps explain situated cognition phenomena in humans because the integrative processes by which the brain adapts to control interaction are relatively agnostic concerning the source of the structure participating in the process. Thus, from the perspective of the motor control system using a tool is not fundamentally different to simply controlling an arm.
