Descriptions of Pain, Metaphor, and Embodied Simulation (2010, background): “…it has been suggested that mirroring mechanisms involving the motor areas of the brain are involved in the processing of metaphorical expressions such as “grasping a concept” (e.g., Lakoff, 2008; Gallese & Lakoff, 2005), but the experimental evidence is inconclusive (see Aziz-Zadeh et al., 2006).”
Gestures Enhance Foreign Language Learning (2012, background): “The fact that merely listening to words like kick, lick, or pick (Pulvermüller 2005) or phrases like press the piano pedal, bite the banana, or grasp the pen (Aziz-Zadeh et al. 2006) activates brain motor areas controlling movements, respectively performed by leg, mouth, and hand, could not be accou”
ALE meta-analysis of action observation and imitation in the human brain (2010, neutral): “…been reported, e.g., within right occipito-temporal junction (Binkofski et al., 2000; Iacoboni et al., 1999, 2001), even disregarding the used hand (Aziz-Zadeh et al., 2006a), or in temporal and frontal areas for right hand movements (Biermann-Ruben et al., 2008) as well as imitation of emotional…”
Embodied Language: A Review of the Role of the Motor System in Language Comprehension (2008, background): “A recent neuroimaging study found that regions that were active during action observation were also active during sentence comprehension, in an effector-dependent manner (Aziz-Zadeh et al., 2006).”
Active perception: sensorimotor circuits as a cortical basis for language (2010, result): “Similar activations were reported for action phrases and sentence”
Neural reflections of meaning in gesture, language, and action (2009, background): “Overlap between parts of (pre)motor cortex activated by action verbs and by action production was clearly observed for two of the three effectors (see also Tettamanti et al. 2005; Aziz-Zadeh et al. 2006; Vigliocco et al. 2006).”
What makes a metaphor an embodied metaphor? (2015, background): “, Banks et al. 1975; see Kornblum et al. (1990) and Lu and Proctor (1995) for reviews).”
