For any concept, we have knowledge about its characteristics and associations - for example, a rabbit is furry, has long ears and eats carrots. However, specific features of concepts are relevant in different situations, so how do we flexibly retrieve this information in an adaptive way tailored to our current circumstances? This project will test and extend a novel theoretical framework (the "graded constraints" hypothesis) which suggests that flexible semantic cognition emerges from a spectrum of large-scale networks that support more automatic to controlled patterns of conceptual retrieval, with these networks organised in a systematic fashion along the cortical surface. We will investigate how connectivity and activation along these networks varies depending on the characteristics or demands of the specific semantic processing task, and what consequences do individual differences in organisation of these networks have on semantic processing.

对于任何概念，我们都知道它的特征和关联-例如，兔子是毛茸茸的，有长耳朵，吃胡萝卜。然而，概念的特定特征在不同的情况下是相关的，那么我们如何以适应我们当前情况的自适应方式灵活地检索这些信息呢？这个项目将测试和扩展一个新的理论框架（“分级约束”假设），这表明灵活的语义认知出现在一系列大规模的网络，支持更多的自动控制模式的概念检索，这些网络组织在一个系统的方式沿着皮层表面。我们将研究如何连接和激活沿着这些网络的变化取决于特定的语义处理任务的特点或需求，以及什么后果做组织这些网络的个体差异对语义处理。
