Research over the last several decades has led to clear and empirically tractable proposals
about the representation of conceptual knowledge in the brain. Here we argue that there are …

Recent work demonstrating that both the observation and planning of actions share common
neural substrates suggests that merely thinking about action may call upon motor-based …

Motor cognition is related to the planning and generation of actions as well as to the
recognition and imagination of motor acts. Recently, there is evidence that the motor system …

Many studies have demonstrated that the sensory and motor systems are activated during
conceptual processing. Such results have been interpreted as indicating that concepts, and …

Functional imaging studies have demonstrated that processing of man-made objects
activate the left ventral premotor cortex, which is known to be concerned with motor function …

This book [reviews] cognitive neuroscience studies of the representation for actions. The
fundamental question addressed concerns the nature and role of different representations in …

The neural correlates of conceptual knowledge for actions are not well understood. To begin
to address this knowledge gap, we tested the hypothesis that the retrieval of conceptual …

Successful interaction with objects in the environment is the precondition for our survival and
for the success of our attempts to improve life by using artifacts and technologies to …

Cognitive neuroscience research on conceptual knowledge often is discussed with respect
to “embodiment” or “grounding.” We tried to disentangle at least three distinct claims made …

A number of studies have observed that the motor system is activated when processing the
semantics of manipulable objects. Such phenomena have been taken as evidence that …
