“…When such evidence from neuroscience is considered with theories that propose a strong link between the performance and conceptual understanding of actions (Prinz, 1997;Rizzolatti & Craighero, 2004;Wilson & Knoblich, 2005), the involvement of the motor system is expected during the comprehension of language that describes actions (Rizzolatti & Arbib, 1998). Indeed, previous studies have shown that sentences describing simple motor actions both facilitate compatible motor responses (Glenberg & Kaschak, 2002) and activate the brain regions that are active when similar actions (i.e., those that involve the same effector) are performed (de Vega, Robertson, Glenberg, Kaschak, & Rinck, 2004;Tettamanti et al, 2005).…”

“…To understand such sentences, readers must be able to decouple two alternative situation models involving a particular event corresponding to John's belief and the speaker's belief (see, e.g., Leslie, 1987). Finally, when mentalist sentences are embedded in a factual text, the updating processes must be momentarily cancelled, because wishes and beliefs do not alter significantly the factual ongoing model (de Vega, Díaz, & León, 1997;de Vega, Robertson, Glenberg, Kaschak, & Rinck, 2004).…”

“…Thus, in one experiment, de Vega et al (2004) presented readers with sentences describing a protagonist as performing two actions requiring similar body motions, such as, for instance, "painting a fence" and "chopping wood." The actions were described as being performed simultaneously or successively, by means of the adverbs while and after, respectively.…”

“…Más aún, también activaría disponibilidades (affordances) en el repertorio conduchabitual de golpear clavos, a otras menos habituales, pero posibles en ciertas circunstancias como romper ladrillos, lanzar contra un cristal, o utilizar como arma (Gibson, 1979;Glenberg, 1997;Kaschak y Glenberg, 2000;Glenberg y Kaschak, 2002). Las disponibilidades de "martillo", "clavo", "golpear", etc., se combinan en una simulación única, utilizando como indicios la estructura gramatical de la oración (Glenberg y Kaschak, 2002;De Vega, Robertson, Glenberg, Kaschak y Rinck, 2004). Por ejemplo, la construcción gramatical nos informa que el agente es Pedro, y el instrumento es "el martillo" y no "el clavo".…”

“…De todos modos, una respuesta provisional a Sanford es que la representación corpórea es muy esquemática y retiene sólo algunos parámetros de la temporalidad de las acciones, tales como su carácter secuencial o simultáneo, o su duración puntual o prolongada en el tiempo (v.g., De Vega et al, 2004;. Recordemos que las predicciones corpóreas se basan en la contrastación empírica de las hipótesis a un nivel conductual y neurofisiológico, a diferencia de otras teorías como las simbólicas que se basan en presupuestos a priori, que no necesitan demostración.…”
