Department of Psychology, University College London, London, United Kingdom
Psychol Sci 18:1007-13. 2007..The results are discussed with reference to existing explanations of embodied processing and the potential of psychophysical methods for assessing interactions between language and perception...- Semantic and syntactic forces in noun phrase productionGabriella Vigliocco

Department of Psychology, University College London, England
Psychol Bull 128:442-72. 2002..Their 2nd goal was to propose an altemative framework that does not assume strict encapsulation but that maintains multiple levels of integration for production... - Semantic distance effects on object and action namingGabriella Vigliocco
Department of Psychology, University College London, Gower Street, London WC1, UK
Cognition 85:B61-9. 2002..We found that naming latencies for both object and action words were modulated by the semantic similarity between the exemplars in each block, providing evidence in both domains of graded semantic effects... - The representation of abstract words: why emotion mattersStavroula Thaleia Kousta

J Exp Psychol Gen 140:14-34. 2011..We conclude with a discussion of our novel hypothesis for embodied abstract semantics... - Emotion words, regardless of polarity, have a processing advantage over neutral wordsStavroula Thaleia Kousta
Research Department of Cognitive, Perceptual and Brain Sciences, University College London, 26 Bedford Way, London, United Kingdom
Cognition 112:473-81. 2009..We found no asymmetry between negative and positive words and suggest that previous findings of such an asymmetry can be attributed to failure to control for a number of critical lexical variables and to a sampling bias... - The link between form and meaning in American Sign Language: lexical processing effectsRobin L Thompson
Deafness Cognition and Language Research Centre, Department of Cognitive, Perceptual, and Brain Sciences, University College London, London, UK
J Exp Psychol Learn Mem Cogn 35:550-7. 2009..Overall, the findings suggest that completely arbitrary mappings between meaning and form may not be more advantageous in language and that, rather, arbitrariness may simply be an accident of modality... - Noun and verb differences in picture naming: past studies and new evidenceSimone Mätzig
Division of Psychology and Language Sciences, University College London, Chandler House, London, UK
Cortex 45:738-58. 2009..We argue that these claims are only justified when it can be shown that the impairments to the two categories occur for the same underlying reason and that the differences between the two categories are large... - The link between form and meaning in British sign language: effects of iconicity for phonological decisionsRobin L Thompson
Deafness, Cognition and Language Research Centre, Department of Cognitive, Perceptual and Brain Sciences, University College London, London, United Kingdom
J Exp Psychol Learn Mem Cogn 36:1017-27. 2010..Thus, the current study extends previous work by demonstrating that iconicity effects permeate the entire language system, arising automatically even when access to meaning is not needed... - An investigation of semantic errors in unimpaired and Alzheimer's speakers of ItalianFederica Paganelli
Department of Psychology, University College London, UK
Cortex 39:419-39. 2003.... - The hands and mouth do not always slip together in British sign language: dissociating articulatory channels in the lexiconDavid P Vinson
