Picturing the physics behind equations and graphs: a grounded cognition based model for multimedia learning and its application in physics education
… the perceptual symbols system (PSS) framework of grounded cognition. I argue that neither the existing PER theories nor the existing MML models are able to provide a satisfactory answer to this question alone. The reason of which, I believe, is that these theories are based on an amodal symbol …

Parkinson's Patients' Upper and Lower Limb Motor Impairments Differentially Influence Action Verb Processing
Theories of grounded cognition emphasize the role of sensorimotor simulation in conceptual knowledge. With regard to action concepts, the motor system is hypothesized to play a central role in their representation and processing. The present study investigates whether patients with Parkinson’s …

The Importance of Situational Information for Abstract Concepts
… experience. Accordingly, current theories of grounded cognition propose that real-world situational knowledge plays a key role in how people understand abstract concepts. Experiment 1 supports this idea by showing that short scenario descriptions prime abstract concepts in the absence of any …

Context and Vocabulary Acquisition: An Eye Movement Investigation
… in the first experiment was followed by a recognition test, while the reading session in the second experiment was followed by a forced choice vocabulary test. Strong familiarity effects were consistently found for measures of initial processing and rereading across both experiments. Effects …

Do Gestural Interfaces Promote Thinking? Embodied Interaction: Congruent Gestures and Direct-Touch Promote Performance in Math
Can action support cognition? Can direct touch support performance? Embodied interaction involving digital devices is based on the theory of grounded cognition. Embodied interaction with gestural interfaces involves more of our senses than traditional (mouse-based) interfaces, and in particular …

Examining the impact of multisensory language on perception and imagination: how can botanic gardens use audio description to enhance access for blind and partially sighted visitors?
… simulation, and the over-arching theory of grounded cognition. The secondary hypothesis is that metaphorical language might be more effective in helping listeners generate imagery due to the ability of metaphor to convey vivid and specific sensory information which may be impossible to …

Perception and Action Weighting in Memory Representations
… This was done in line with the proposals of grounded cognition and situated action, in which action and perception are tightly linked, and able to influence one another in order to aid the performance of a task. Following this idea of a bi-directional loop between the two processes, studies …

THE GROUNDING OF L1 AND L2 REPRESENTATIONS IN PERCEPTUAL EXPERIENCES
… language (L2) processing as proposed by the grounded cognition hypothesis (Barsalou, 1999). A secondary aim was to provide evidence for the embodied grounding in a non-European language, L1 Japanese. The experiments, which all utilized reaction time methods, were split into three paradigms …

La representación de la variación contextual mediante definiciones terminológicas flexible
… Given the ubiquity of context and its effects on cognition and language, the representation of the traits activated by concepts in accordance with the context becomes a necessity if one aspires to fully meet the user’s needs. This also entails the inclusion of prototypical characteristics in the …
