Embodied Verbal Semantics: Evidence from an Image-Verb Matching Task
It has recently been demonstrated that certain neural circuitry involved in the execution of specific motor actions is also used when the very same motor actions are observed or when language describing those actions is perceived. In humans, the pre-motor cortex is organized into regions that are involved in the execution and observation of actions performed by at least the following three gene...
متن کاملEmpirical Evidence for Embodied Semantics
This paper addresses the question whether and under which conditions hearers take into account the perspective of the speaker, and vice versa. Empirical evidence from computational modeling, psycholinguistic experimentation and corpus research suggests that a distinction should be made between speaker meanings and hearer meanings. Literal sentence meanings result from the hearer’s failure to ca...
متن کاملUnfamiliar faces are not faces: evidence from a matching task.
It is difficult to match two images of the same unfamiliar face, even under good conditions. Here, we show that there are large individual differences on unfamiliar face matching. Initially, we tried to predict these using tests of visual short-term memory, cognitive style, and perceptual speed. Moderate correlations were produced by various components of these tests. In three other experiments...
متن کاملLexical and phonological processes in dyslexic readers: evidence from a visual lexical decision task.
The aim of the present study was to investigate whether reading failure in the context of an orthography of intermediate consistency is linked to inefficient use of the lexical orthographic reading procedure. The performance of typically developing and dyslexic Portuguese-speaking children was examined in a lexical decision task, where the stimulus lexicality, word frequency and length were man...
