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 …

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 …

It is currently debated whether the meanings of words and objects are represented, in whole
or in part, in a modality-specific format–the embodied cognition hypothesis. I argue that the …

Conceptual representations in long-term memory crucially contribute to perception and
action, language and thought. However, the precise nature of these conceptual memory …

Over the last decade, there has been an increasing body of work that explores whether
sensory and motor information is a necessary part of semantic representation and …

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 …

La thèse de la cognition incarnée s' est développée en tant que thèse différente de celle
voulant que la cognition soit l'objet d'une médiation, tout au moins, par des représentations …

Recent research indicates that sensory and motor cortical areas play a significant role in the
neural representation of concepts. However, little is known about the overall architecture of …

In this article we assume a domain-specific organisation of conceptual knowledge and
consider two questions: How does this architecture constrain further assumptions that might …

One of the most provocative and exciting issues in cognitive science is how neural specificity
for semantic categories of common objects arises in the functional architecture of the brain …
