From bird to sparrow: Learning-induced modulations in fine-grained semantic discrimination

Paradigm. Participants performed three sessions during which EEG and behavioral data were collected: a Pre-training session, a Training session during which half of the species were individually learned (Trained items, T) and a Post-training session identical to the Pre. EEG analyses were performed only on the Pre- and Post-training sessions. Neuroimaging results. Source estimations at the cortical level of the training-induced differences between trained (T) and untrained (C) items. Temporal hierarchy of auditory categorization. Adapted from De Lucia et al. (2010).91
