About

Human beings constantly construct and process meanings and concepts in their daily linguistic and sensori-motor interaction with the world. What one knows about “piano”, for example, may consist of what one has read about the object in text, visual experience with the shape and structure of an actual piano, hearing the sound it makes, as well as physical interaction when moving or playing the instrument. Thus, effectively retrieving and weighting relevant information associated with a concept for a given situation is the key to efficaciously interpret what is happening around us, and in many ways affect how we respond to it.

The overarching research interest of this lab is in the cognitive mechanisms associated with such meaning processing in the brain. Our previous work focused on how linguistic, perceptual, and motor information contribute to meaning processing. In addition, we examined how these processes change across the life span in the face of accumulated experience and neurobiological constraints associated with aging.

人們在日常生活中,經常透過語言以及自身與環境的動作感覺互動,進而建構意義並理解包羅萬象的世界。舉例來說,人們知道「鋼琴」這個字,不僅僅是知道這個字在語境下的語意,也同時知道鋼琴的形狀結構、鋼琴的音色,以及如何彈奏鋼琴這項樂器,因此,如何有效率地取得字詞的語意,並且衡量與該字詞相關的語意訊息,就決定了我們如何解釋周遭發生的事情,以及如何對外界刺激做出回應。

我們實驗室主要的研究興趣在於了解處理意義的大腦認知機制,我們過往的研究範疇包含語言、感知和動作相關的訊息如何影響意義的處理。此外,我們也檢視了伴隨生活經驗的累積,以及老化所帶來的認知生理機制上的改變,所造成的意義處理歷程之轉變。
