Incremental language comprehension difficulty predicts activity in the language network but not the multiple demand network

2020-04-17

Abstract excerpt

What role do domain-general executive functions play in human language comprehension? To address this question, we examine the relationship between behavioral measures of comprehension and neural activity in the domain-general “multiple demand” (MD) network, which has been linked to constructs like attention, working memory, inhibitory control, and selection, and implicated in diverse goal-directed behaviors. Spec...
