Invariant representations in abstract concept grounding - the physical world in grounded cognition. [PDF]

Psychon Bull Rev
Abstract Grounded cognition states that mental representations of concepts consist of experiential aspects. For example, the concept “cup” consists of the sensorimotor experiences from interactions with cups. Typical modalities in which concepts are grounded are: The sensorimotor system (including interoception), emotion, action ...

Electrophysiological Potentials Reveal Cortical Mechanisms for Mental Imagery, Mental Simulation, and Grounded (Embodied) Cognition

Frontiers in Psychology, 2012
Grounded cognition theory proposes that cognition, including meaning, is grounded in sensorimotor processing. The mechanism for grounding cognition is mental simulation, which is a type of mental imagery that re-enacts modal processing.

The Neuroscience of Storing and Molding Tool Action Concepts: How “Plastic” is Grounded Cognition?

Frontiers in Psychology, 2010
Choosing how to use tools to accomplish a task is a natural and seemingly trivial aspect of our lives, yet engages complex neural mechanisms. Recently, work in healthy populations has led to the idea that tool knowledge is grounded to allow for ...

Attention: The grounds of self‐regulated cognition [PDF]

WIREs Cognitive Science, 2021
AbstractEveryone knows what paying attention is, yet not everybody knows what this means in cognitive and brain function terms. The attentive state can be defined as a state of optimal activation that allows selecting the sources of information and courses of action in order to optimize our interaction with the environment in accordance with either the

Grounding computational cognitive models

Psychological Review, 2023
Cognitive scientists and neuroscientists are increasingly deploying computational models to develop testable theories of psychological functions and make quantitative predictions about cognition, brain activity and behaviour. Computational models are used to explain target phenomena such as experimental effects, individual and/or population differences.
