“…It assumes that cognitive processes are grounded in perception and action (Barsalou, 1999). Ample evidence for the embodied cognition framework comes from psychological research in a variety of domains, such as research on action semantics (e.g., Lindemann, Stenneken, Van Schie, & Bekkering, 2006), language comprehension (e.g., Zwaan & Taylor, 2006), and neuroscience (e.g., Glenberg et al, 2008). This research shows that visual and motor processes in the brain are active during the performance of cognitive tasks such as reading, comprehension, mental arithmetic, and problem solving, while semantic codes are activated during the performance of motor tasks, suggesting that cognitive and sensorimotor processes are closely intertwined.…”
