Abstract
The Hebbian view of word representation is challenged by findings of task ( level of processing)-dependent, event-related potential patterns that do no t support the notion of a fixed set of neurons representing a given word. W ith cross-language phonological reliability encoding more asymmetrical left hemisphere activity is evoked than with word comprehension. Tills suggests a dynamical view of the brain as a self-organizing, connective-adjusting s ystem.
