Abstract:
Semantic processing plays a key role in the language comprehension. In the past more than two decades, by using different kinds of cognitive neuroscience methods, the time course and the neural basis of semantic processing had been comprehensively investigated, and a few classic models had been proposed based on these studies. Future studies should focus more on a precise and systematic definition of the concept of semantic processing. Furthermore, by using the convergence evidence from multi-methodologies, more systematic studies on semantic processing should be carried out from the perspective of the wholeness and the interactivity of the brain function to understand the processes.
