Grounded cognition rejects traditional views that cognition is computation on amodal
symbols in a modular system, independent of the brain's modal systems for perception …

Presents an embodied account of symbolic operations, proceeding from the neural
simulation of concrete concepts to how these relate to abstract concepts and symbols. This …

The Simulation Framework, also known as the Embodied Cognition Framework, maintains
that conceptual knowledge is grounded in sensorimotor systems. To test several predictions …

Numerous previous neuroimaging studies suggest an involvement of cortical motor areas
not only in action execution but also in action recognition and understanding. Motor areas of …

There is increasing evidence to suggest that mental simulations underlie many cognitive
processes. We review results from three rapidly developing research areas suggesting that …

Human ventral cortex contains at least two visual areas selective for color [1]: a posterior
center in the lingual gyrus labeled V4 [2–4], V8 [5], or VO-1 [6] and an anterior center in the …

The results of imaging studies confirm the neuropsychological concept that semantic
knowledge and its usage depend upon a widely distributed network of brain areas …

This paper investigates how neuronal activation for naming photographs of objects is
influenced by the addition of appropriate colour or sound. Behaviourally, both colour and …

We advance a theory of inductive reasoning based on similarity, and test it on arguments
involving mammal categories. To measure similarity, we quantified the overlap of neural …

Two experiments provide evidence that information about the real-life size of objects is
elicited by nouns. A priming paradigm was used with a category membership verification …
