“…As was noted at the beginning of this article, evidence from brain imaging studies also shows that processing language associated with particular perceptual or motor functions activates the neural areas responsible for those same functions (Pulvermüller et al, 2001;Tettamanti et al, 2005). Modal brain areas in fact appear to serve a number of different uses, including recalling actions (Nyberg et al, 2001;Wheeler, Petersen, & Buckner, 2000) and modal imagery (Decety, Sjöholm, Ryding, Stenberg, & Ingvar, 1990;Ehrsson, Geyer, & Naito, 2003;Lotze et al, 1999;Porro et al, 1996;Roland, Larsen, Lassen, & Skinhøj, 1980;Sirigu et al, 1996). It is therefore no surprise that perceptual and motor systems are also engaged in the process of language understanding.…”
