“…In order to interpret the findings in terms of current theories, we propose a modified version of the 'shared circuits' model in which specific cognitive systems are necessary for processing of information. Specifically, we adopt a neurocognitive model that accounts for the processing of visual [42] and linguistic information [64][65][66] and that highlights the use of inference memory and simulation systems as essential to any cognitive process. More importantly, this model predicts that sensorimotor systems are required during dynamic interactions between vision and language, and recent behavioral [67] and imaging [68] evidence supports these predictions.…”

Event-related potential signatures of perceived and imagined emotional and food real-life photos

Although food and affective pictures share similar emotional and motivational characteristics, the relationship between the neuronal responses to these stimuli is unclear. Particularly, it is not known whether perceiving and imagining food and affective stimuli elicit similar event-related potential (ERP) patterns. In this study, two ERP correlates, the early posterior negativity (EPN) and the late positive potential (LPP) for perceived and imagined emotional and food photographs were investigated. Thirteen healthy volunteers were exposed to a set of food photos, as well as unpleasant, pleasant, and neutral photos from the International Affective Picture System. In each trial, participants were first asked to view a photo (perception condition), and then to create a visual mental image of it and to rate its vividness (imagery condition). The results showed that during perception, brain regions corresponding to sensorimotor and parietal motivational (defensive and appetitive) systems were activated to different extents, producing a graded pattern of EPN and LPP responses specific to the photo content - more prominent for unpleasant than pleasant and food content. Also, an EPN signature occurred in both conditions for unpleasant content, suggesting that, compared to food or pleasant content, unpleasant content may be attended to more intensely during perception and may be represented more distinctly during imagery. Finally, compared to LLP activation during perception, as well as imagery and perception of all other content, LPP activation was significantly reduced during imagery of unpleasant photos, suggesting inhibition of unwanted memories. Results are framed within a neurocognitive working model of embodied emotions.

“…The framework has been influential since its publication. It has been applied to explain a range of findings about gesture (e.g., Wartenburger et al, 2010), and it has inspired models that explain the embodiment of other sorts of behaviors (e.g., Cevasco & Ramos, 2013;Perlman, Clark, & Johansson Falck, 2015). Furthermore, the central idea proposed in the GSA framework-that gestures reflect embodied sensorimotor simulations-has been taken as a warrant for using gestures as evidence about the nature of underlying cognitive processes or representations in a wide range of tasks and domains (e.g., Eigsti, 2013;Gerofsky, 2010;Gu, Mol, Hoetjes, & Swerts, 2017;Perlman & Gibbs, 2013;Sassenberg, Foth, Wartenburger, & van der Meer, 2011;Yannier, Hudson, Wiese, & Koedinger, 2016).…”

Gesture as simulated action: Revisiting the framework

2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The Gesture as Simulated Action (GSA) framework was proposed to explain how gestures arise from embodied simulations of the motor and perceptual states that occur during speaking and thinking (Hostetter & Alibali, Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 15, 495-514, 2008). In this review, we revisit the framework's six main predictions regarding gesture rates, gesture form, and the cognitive cost of inhibiting gesture. We find that the available evidence largely supports the main predictions of the framework. We also consider several challenges to the framework that have been raised, as well as several of the framework's limitations as it was originally proposed. We offer additional elaborations of the framework to address those challenges that fall within the framework's scope, and we conclude by identifying key directions for future work on how gestures arise from an embodied mind.

“…El discurso escrito y, particularmente el narrativo, suele estar compuesto por una cadena causal que establece la secuencia de eventos en la que se basa buena parte de la interpretación que realiza el lector de una manera coherente (Escudero y León, 2007;Cevasco y van den Broek, 2008). Tanto es así, que para algunos autores la comprensión de un texto narrativo ocurre como un proceso de naturaleza explicativa, como si siempre estuviésemos preguntándonos el por qué (Trabasso y Magliano, 1996;Singer et al, 1997).…”

Resumen. La comprensión lectora, asumida como la elaboración de una representación mental, es estructurada a través de la creación de redes causales creadas por el lector, basándose en los nodos pertenecientes al texto y sus relaciones causales. Diversos autores defienden la idea de que las relaciones causales juegan un papel esencial en el proceso de comprensión, formando parte del modelo mental. En el presente trabajo se evalúa la comprensión lectora desde el punto de vista de la causalidad, en estudiantes universitarios y de 4º de ESO, a través de la estructuración de redes causales en nodos de distinta densidad causal que se analiza, tanto en el texto como en el lector, en tareas de resúmenes de un texto narrativo. La hipótesis de la que parte este trabajo es que la densidad causal, o más específicamente, aquellos nodos que tengan un mayor número de relaciones causales en el texto repercutirán en mayor grado en la comprensión de texto, siendo estas relaciones causales determinantes entre lectores competentes y menos competentes dentro de las dos muestras seleccionadas. Los resultados avalan dichas hipótesis, detectándose, además, un valor predictivo entre tipos de lectores y nodos causales. Abstract.Reading, taken to be the development of mental representation, is structured through the establishment of causal networks constructed by the reader. These are based on the causal network taken from the text and its causal relationships. Several authors support the idea that causal relationships play a key role in the process of understanding as part of the mental model. In the present study, we analyze reading comprehension from the point of view of causality, in students at university and in the 4 th year of secondary school. This is done through reviewing the structure of causal networks of nodes with different causal densities, both in the text and in the reader, in a summary task of a narrative text. The working hypothesis is that the causal density, or more specifically, those nodes that have a greater number of causal relationships in the text, will have the greatest impact on reading comprehension, with these causal relationships being the determining factor between competent La correspondencia sobre este artículo puede dirigirse a José Antonio León.

The results support these hypotheses; we also detected a predictive value between types of readers and causal nodes. 163 Tabla 1.
