Department of Psychology, Emory University, Atlanta, GA 30322, USA
Cogn Process 8:79-91. 2007..We also propose that anticipation is central to situated action and to social interaction, and that many of its key features reflect the process of development... - Integrating Bayesian analysis and mechanistic theories in grounded cognitionLawrence W Barsalou

Behav Brain Sci 34:191-2. 2011..The constructs of simulator and situated conceptualization illustrate how Bayesian priors and likelihoods arise naturally in grounded mechanisms to predict and control situated action... - Continuity of the conceptual system across speciesLawrence W Barsalou
Department of Psychology, Emory University, Atlanta, GA 30322, USA
Trends Cogn Sci 9:309-11. 2005..This parallel suggests that a common architecture underlies the conceptual systems of different species, although with additional systems extending human conceptual abilities significantly... - Perceptual symbol systemsL W Barsalou

Utrecht University, Utrecht, The Netherlands
Psychol Sci 14:119-24. 2003..A second experiment showed that this effect was not due to associative priming between properties in the same modality. These results support the hypothesis that perceptual simulation underlies conceptual processing... - The situated nature of conceptsWenchi Yeh

Department of Psychology, University of Warwick, Coventry, CV4 7AL, United Kingdom
Psychol Sci 19:93-7. 2008..Thus, object words oriented attention to and activated perceptual simulations in the objects' typical locations. These results shed new light on how language affects perception...- fMRI evidence for word association and situated simulation in conceptual processingW Kyle Simmons

J Physiol Paris 102:106-19. 2008..Whereas some paradigms produce high levels of linguistic processing and low levels of simulation, other paradigms produce the opposite pattern... - Sensorimotor simulations underlie conceptual representations: modality-specific effects of prior activationDiane Pecher
Utrecht University, Utrecht, The Netherlands
Psychon Bull Rev 11:164-7. 2004..Verification times and error rates for the second presentation of the concept were higher if the properties were from different modalities than if they were from the same modality... - Perceptual simulation in property verificationKaren Olseth Solomon
Willamette University, Salem, Oregon, USA
Mem Cognit 32:244-59. 2004..This pattern indicates that conceptual tasks engender mixtures of simulation and word association, and that researchers must deter word association strategies when the goal is to assess conceptual knowledge...
