Models that represent meaning as high-dimensional numerical vectors—such as latent
semantic analysis (LSA), hyperspace analogue to language (HAL), bound encoding of the …

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 …

Spontaneous gestures that accompany speech are related to both verbal and spatial
processes. We argue that gestures emerge from perceptual and motor simulations that …

Evolution and the brain have done a marvelous job solving many tricky problems in action
control, including problems of learning, hierarchical control over serial behavior, continuous …

The article analyzes the neural and functional grounding of language skills as well as their
emergence in hominid evolution, hypothesizing stages leading from abilities known to exist …

The automatic translation of folk psychology into newly formed brain modules specifically
dedicated to mind-reading and other social cognitive abilities should be carefully …

Metaphorically, power equals up. Drawing on embodied theories of cognition, the author
argues that thinking about power involves mental simulation of space and can be interfered …

The neural circuits activated in a person carrying out actions, expressing emotions, and
experiencing sensations are activated also, automatically via a mirror neuron system, in the …

Embodied cognition (EC) underlines that cognition is constrained by the kind of body we
possess, and stresses the importance of action for cognition. In this perspective the body is …

This paper discusses the relevance of the discovery of mirror neurons in monkeys and of the
mirror neuron system in humans to a neuroscientific account of primates' social cognition …
