Thinking in Words: Language as an Embodied Medium of Thought (2014, background): “Others have argued that language serves as an independent conceptual code (Barsalou et al., 2008; Borghi & Cimatti, 2009; Dove, 2011).”
Examining Tourism Consumers’ Attitudes and the Role of Sensory Information in Virtual Reality Experiences of a Tourist Destination (2021, background): “Psychology scholars outline that cognitive mental processing is grounded in sensory experiences (see: Meier et al. 2012; Barsalou et al. 2008; Niedenthal et al. 2005); hence, from a sensory marketing viewpoint, people perceive the world through their senses, including visual, haptic, auditory, gusta”
Abstract concepts: sensory-motor grounding, metaphors, and beyond (2011, background): “Such a mechanism was proposed by Barsalou et al. (2008) and Simmons et al. (2008).”
Embodiment theory and education: The foundations of cognition in perception and action (2012, background): “These simulations of previous sensory–motor experiences [2] are often unconscious, but can be measured with behavioral or neuroscientific experimental techniques (see Box 1).”
Distributional semantics in linguistic and cognitive research (2008, background): “Barsalou et al. (2008), for instance, propose a dual model of meaning in which embodied simulation is accompanied by processed based on linguistic word co-occurrences, in the spirit of the DH, although linguistic distributions are assigned just a superficial role, with “real” deep semantic…”
Linguistic Distributional Knowledge and Sensorimotor Grounding both Contribute to Semantic Category Production (2020, methodology): “These findings support linguistic–simulation theories of the conceptual system (Barsalou et al., 2008; Connell & Lynott, 2014b; Louwerse, 2011) as the basis for conceptual processing during categorisation.”
Conceptual representations in mind and brain: theoretical developments, current evidence and future directions. (2012, background): “…between words as well as on emotional and introspective representations in addition to sensory and motor representations than concrete concepts (Barsalou et al., 2008; Vigliocco et al., 2009), the dichotomy between these types of concepts does not appear justified: even abstract concepts are…”
