Motor features of abstract verbs determine their representations in the motor system

Abstract: Embodied cognition theory posits that concept representations inherently rely on sensorimotor experiences that accompany their acquisitions. This is well established through concrete concepts. However, it is debatable whether representations of abstract concepts are based on sensorimotor representations. This study investigated the causal role of associated motor experiences that accompany concept acquisition in the involvement of the motor system in the abstract verb processing. Through two experiments, we ex… Show more

“…In a recent study [24], the action-sentence compatibility effect was examined for a set of abstract verbs with low motor associations and a set of novel words. In the learning phase of the first experiment, motor features of a set of abstract verbs with low motor features were strengthened.…”
