Mental Simulation of Spatial Perspective during Sentence Comprehension
We present an experiment, in which the Action-Sentence Compatibility Effect (ACE, Glenberg & Kaschak, 2002) was reversed when the perspective was changed by using first person pronouns as the agent or patient of the sentence. The results suggest that participants prefer to take the perspective of the first person protagonists – independent of their grammatical and semantic roles and the directi...
متن کاملSentence Comprehension as Mental Simulation: An Information-Theoretic Perspective
It has been argued that the mental representation resulting from sentence comprehension is not (just) an abstract symbolic structure but a “mental simulation” of the state-of-affairs described by the sentence. We present a particular formalization of this theory and show how it gives rise to quantifications of the amount of syntactic and semantic information conveyed by each word in a sentence....
متن کاملSemantic focus and sentence comprehension.
Reaction time to detect a phoneme target in a sentence was found to be faster when the word in which the target occurred formed part of the semantic focus of the sentence. Focus was determined by asking a question before the sentence; that part of the sentence which comprised the answer to the sentence was assumed to be focussed. This procedure made it possible to vary position offocus within t...
متن کاملEmbodied sentence comprehension 1 EMBODIED SENTENCE COMPREHENSION
ions are being discussed in other chapters in this book (Barsalou & WiemerHastings, this volume; Gibbs, this volume; Prinz, this volume). 6.0 Conclusion and outlook We started this chapter by comparing two perspectives on cognition in general and on language comprehension in particular. According to the traditional perspective, language comprehension involves the activation and integration of d...
متن کاملNeural basis of semantic and syntactic interference in sentence comprehension.
According to the cue-based parsing approach (Lewis, Vasishth, & Van Dyke, 2006), sentence comprehension difficulty derives from interference from material that partially matches syntactic and semantic retrieval cues. In a 2 (low vs. high semantic interference)×2 (low vs. high syntactic interference) fMRI study, greater activation was observed in left BA44/45 for high versus low syntactic interf...
