High feature overlap reveals the importance of anterior and medial temporal lobe structures for learning by means of fast mapping

No evidence of fast mapping in healthy adults using an implicit memory measure: Failures to replicate the lexical competition results of Coutanche and Thompson‐Schill (2014)

“…Scanning brain activity with fMRI during the study phase could reveal differences simply due to the different stimulus arrays (e.g, presence of a referent in the FM but not EE condition), while differences in the test phase could reflect incidental retrieval of the referent, even if that retrieval does not affect memory for the target name (see Cooper et al, 2019a). Zaiser et al (2022) reported greater fMRI response in perirhinal cortex associated with later remembered versus forgotten names for items with high compared to low feature overlap, but did not include an EE condition. Two event-related potentials (ERP) studies (Shytrov et al, 2021(Shytrov et al, , 2022 reported changes in the ERP to spoken words after, versus before, being studied under FM or EE conditions.…”

“…The two samples did not overlap. The size of samples was determined based on previous research on learning strategies (Greve et al, 2014;Zaiser et al, 2022;Li et al, 2020), as well as similar experiments studying associations between labels and a visual reference (Zettersten & Lupyan, 2020). All participants were healthy right-handed (as established using the Edinburgh Handedness Inventory; Oldfield, 1971) native speakers of Russian with no language deficits and no prior history of any neurological or psychiatric disorders, alcoholism, or drug abuse.…”
