摘要： Current research in cerebellar cognitive and linguistic functions makes plausible the idea that the cerebellum is involved in processing temporally contiguous linguistic input. In order to assess this hypothesis, a lexical decision task was constructed to study the effects of cerebellar transcranial magnetic stimulation on semantic noun-to-verb priming based on association (e.g. ‘soap–cleaning’) or similarity (e.g. ‘robbery–stealing’). The results demonstrated a selective increase in associative priming size after stimulation of a lateral cerebellar site. The findings are discussed in the contexts of a cerebellar role in linguistic expectancy generation and the corticocerebellar ‘prefrontal’ reciprocal loop. 其他題名： Cerebellum 出版者： New York: Springer Science and Business Media LLC 出版日期： 2013-02-01 出處： Cerebellum (London, England), 2013-02, Vol.12 (1), p.83-96 版權： Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2012 版權： Springer Science+Business Media New York 2013 識別號： ISSN: 1473-4222 識別號： ISSN: 1473-4230 識別號： EISSN: 1473-4230 識別號： DOI: 10.1007/s12311-012-0398-y 識別號： PMID: 22752996
