Currently, production and comprehension are regarded as quite distinct in accounts of
language processing. In rejecting this dichotomy, we instead assert that producing and …

How brain structures and neuronal circuits mechanistically underpin symbolic meaning has
recently been elucidated by neuroimaging, neuropsychological, and neurocomputational …

Abstract “Embodied” proposals claim that the meaning of at least some words, concepts and
constructions is grounded in knowledge about actions and objects. An alternative …

The problem of how word meaning is processed in the brain has been a topic of intense
investigation in cognitive neuroscience. While considerable correlational evidence exists for …

The cognitive and neural representation of abstract words is still an open question for
theories of embodied cognition. Generally, it is proposed that abstract words are grounded …

Many recent neuroimaging studies have investigated the representation of semantic
memory for actions in the brain. We used activation likelihood estimation (ALE) meta …

Visualizing the events described in a text is crucial for constructing a rich and coherent
visuospatial mental representation (ie, situation model) of the text. According to current …

Recent studies suggest that action-verb processing is particularly affected in early stage
Parkinson's disease (PD), highlighting the potential role of subcortical areas in language …

This is a book about ''Simulation and Learning''. It is written for educators, teachers, and
instructional scientists, but also for instructional designers, and anyone else involved in …

In 2004, we (Smith & Semin, 2004) described a conceptual framework of “socially situated
cognition,” encompassing four major themes. Cognition is for adaptive action, involves the …
