Embodied semantics in a second language: Critical review and clinical implications
The role of the sensorimotor system in second language (L2) semantic processing as well
as its clinical implications for bilingual patients has hitherto been neglected. We offer an …

Motor imagery training to improve language processing: What are the arguments?
Studies showed that motor expertise was found to induce improvement in language
processing. Grounded and situated approaches attributed this effect to an underlying …

Solving the interface problem without translation: The same format thesis
G Ferretti, SZ Caiani - Pacific Philosophical Quarterly, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
In this article, we propose a new account concerning the interlock between intentions and
motor representations (henceforth: MRs), showing that the interface problem is not as deep …

Differential impairments of upper and lower limb movements influence action verb processing in Parkinson disease
Theories of grounded cognition emphasize the role of the motor system in the processing of
action concepts. The present study investigated whether persons with Parkinson disease …

Body into narrative: Behavioral and neurophysiological signatures of action text processing after ecological motor training
Embodied cognition research indicates that sensorimotor training can influence action
concept processing. Yet, most studies employ isolated (pseudo) randomized stimuli and …

The kinematics, not the orientation, of an action influences language processing.
SA Beauprez, C Bidet-Ildei - Journal of Experimental Psychology …, 2018 - psycnet.apa.org
Consistent with the embodied view of cognition, several studies have shown a link between
action and the processing of action verbs. However, it is largely unknown how action …

The Rationality and Flexibility of Motor Representations in Skilled Performance
G Ferretti, S Zipoli Caiani - Philosophia, 2023 - Springer
Philosophers and cognitive scientists have been debating about the nature of practical
knowledge in skilled action. A big challenge is that of establishing whether and how …

Habitual actions, propositional knowledge, motor representations and intentionality
G Ferretti, S Zipoli Caiani - Topoi, 2021 - Springer
Habitual actions have a history of practice and repetition that frees us from attending to what
we are doing. Nevertheless, habitual actions seem to be intentional. What does account for …
