During the decade following a functional neuroimaging study of language that showed cerebellar involvement in a cognitive task, PET and fMRI studies have continued to provide evidence that the role of the cerebellum extends beyond that of motor control and that this structure contributes in some way to cognitive operations. In this review, we describe neuroimaging evidence for cerebellar involvement in working memory, implicit and explicit learning and memory, and language, and we discuss some of the problems and limitations faced by researchers who use neuroimaging to investigate cerebellar function. We also raise a set of outstanding questions that need to be addressed through further neuroimaging and behavioral experiments before differing functional accounts of cerebellar involvement in cognition can be resolved.
在一项研究语言的功能神经影像学研究显示小脑参与认知任务的十年后，PET 和 fMRI 研究继续提供证据表明小脑的作用超出了运动控制，并且该结构以某种方式有助于认知操作。在这篇综述中，我们描述了神经影像学证据表明小脑参与工作记忆、内隐和外显学习和记忆以及语言，并且我们讨论了使用神经影像学研究小脑功能的研究人员所面临的一些问题和限制。我们还提出了一组悬而未决的问题，需要通过进一步的神经影像学和行为实验来解决，然后才能解决小脑参与认知的不同功能解释。
