Sensorimotor experience in virtual environments
… behavioral) and neural correlates of motor experience of hand gesture activities in virtual environments stimulating sensory experience (VE) using a hand agent model. The fMRI compatible Virtual Environment Sign Language Instruction (VESLI) System was designed and developed to provide a …

Examining the Influence of Sensorimotor Experience on 5-year-old Children's Word Learning
… to strong theories of embodied cognition, sensorimotor experience is essential for gaining, representing, and accessing conceptual knowledge. The role of embodied knowledge in adult language processing has been studied quite extensively, and embodied experiences are considered necessary for …

Experience Dependent Sensorimotor Functioning in Adults with Severe Autism Spectrum Disorder
… research was to provide new insights into sensorimotor development and functioning in autistic adults. First, classification measures (Chapter Two) were used to verify the diagnosis of autism, and automatic imitation (Chapter Three) was used to verify an intact perception-action link. In …

Autonomous learning of action-word semantics in a humanoid robot
… conveys must be grounded in the agent’s complete sensorimotor experience. Typically, patterns from visual, auditory, and proprioceptive data streams which share the same conceptual cause are fused together in an associative memory at the core of the language model. Coupling of motor and auditory …

Mechanisms of Movement-Related Changes in Auditory Detection
… to expected sounds following predictable sensorimotor experience. Overall, these findings support the idea that movement-related modulation of auditory cortical activity is behaviorally adaptive, selectively suppressing predictable movement-related sounds while enhancing sensitivity to …

Deriving meaning from print: The role of sensorimotor information and context in semantic processing
… high or low for body-object interaction (BOI), a sensorimotor semantic richness dimension that measures ease of bodily interaction with the word’s referent (Siakaluk, et al., 2008a). In one condition participants decided whether each word was an entity or non-entity and in the other condition …

The Neural Dynamics of Action Representation for Sound: An investigation of musical training effects on mu suppression
Efficient sensorimotor integration is essential for music performance. Musicians undergo extensive training, which enhances established neural links between auditory and motor areas of the brain. Long-term training develops, strengthens and enables flexibility in these connections allowing …

"""Going against the flow"": the effects of dynamic orientational metaphors on consumer choice and persuasion"
Past research shows that bodily experiences can activate concepts to which they are metaphorically linked and can influence judgments in other unrelated domains. Although some studies have focused on experiences that have a direct semantic correspondence to the target being judged (e.g., experience …

Amplifying Actions - Towards Enactive Sound Design
… scientists keep revealing new findings about sensorimotor contingencies, changing the way in which we understand human knowledge. However, implicit knowledge generated in artistic projects can become difficult to transfer and scientific research frequently remains isolated due to specific …
