The beauty of language structure: a single-case fMRI study of palindrome creation

2021-07-07

Abstract excerpt

<p>Humans seem to be inherently driven to engage in wordplay. An example is the creation of palindromes – sentences or paragraphs that read the same backward and forward. This activity can be framed as a curiosity-driven behaviour, in which individuals sacrifice finite resources, like their time, to seek information that serves no direct purpose and without receiving external rewards. In this single-case fMRI stud...
