Dementia & NeuropsychologiaThe objective of the current review was to verify whether studies investigating lexical-semantic difficulties in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) support the Embodied Cognition model. Under this framework, it is predicted that patients with PD will

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.

NeuroImage, 2020 Reading a book, understanding the news reports or any other behaviour involving the processing of meaningful stimuli requires the semantic system to have two main features: being active during an extended period of time and flexibly adapting the internal

Brain and behavioural correlates of action semantic deficits in autism.
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2013 Action-perception circuits comprising neurons in the motor system have been proposed as main building blocks of higher cognition; accordingly, motor dysfunction should entail cognitive deficits.

Categories and Frequency: Cognition Verbs in Spanish Subject Expression
Languages, 2021 Are semantic classes of verbs genuine or do they merely mask idiosyncrasies of frequent verbs? Here, we examine the interplay between semantic classes and frequent verb-form combinations, providing new evidence from variation patterns in spontaneous ...

Interfacing language, spatial perception and cognition in Type Theory with Records
Journal of Language Modelling, 2017 We argue that computational modelling of perception, action, language, and cognition introduces several requirements on a formal semantic theory and its practical implementations. Using examples of semantic representations of spatial descriptions we show

Toward an Embodied Cognitive Semantics [PDF]
Cognitive Semantics, 2015 This article strives to move forward toward an embodied account of cognitive semantics. Using current empirical embodiment findings and theoretical interpretations thereof, the major schematic systems of Talmyan cognitive semantics (configurational structure, attention, perspective, and force dynamics) are all presented within one unified embodied ...

Unpicking the Semantic Impairment in Alzheimer’s Disease: Qualitative Changes with Disease Severity
Behavioural Neurology, 2012 Despite a vast literature examining semantic impairment in Alzheimer's disease (AD), consensus regarding the nature of the deficit remains elusive. We re-considered this issue in the context of a framework that assumes semantic cognition can break down ...

NeuroImage, 2020 Human cognition flexibly guides decision-making in familiar and novel situations. Although these decisions are often treated as dichotomous, in reality, situations are neither completely familiar, nor entirely new.

Collective cognition in humans: groups outperform their best members in a sentence reconstruction task. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Group-living is widespread among animals and one of the major advantages of group-living is the ability of groups to solve cognitive problems that exceed individual ability. Humans also make use of collective cognition and have simultaneously developed a
