Semantics derived automatically from language corpora contain human-like biases (2016, background): “More generally, shared awareness of the real world is important for communication (Zue, 1985; Barsalou, 2009).”
The proactive brain: memory for predictions (2009, background): “…(Schank 1975), and similar to the idea of stored motor plans (Schubotz & von Cramon 2002; Mushiake et al. 2006), which contain information on what was the proper response and expectation under similar conditions in the past (see also Barsalou (2009) and Barbey et al. (2009) for a similar concept).”
Credit Assignment in Multiple Goal Embodied Visuomotor Behavior (2010, background): “It emphasizes that the brain cannot be understood in isolation as so much of its structure is dictated by the body it finds itself in and the world that the body has to survive in (Ballard et al., 1997b; Roy and Pentland, 2002; Barsalou, 2009; Glenberg, 2010).”
The thing that should not be: predictive coding and the uncanny valley in perceiving human and humanoid robot actions (2011, background): “Predictive coding fits well with the view of perception as an active process that involves generating predictions about the environment, as well as the brain’s own states (e.g. Yuille and Kersten, 2006; Bar, 2009; Barsalou, 2009).”
Descriptions of Pain, Metaphor, and Embodied Simulation (2010, background): “Barsalou (2008, 2009) builds on evidence from psychology and cognitive science in order to propose that a variety of cognitive activities, such as memory and prediction, involve the internal simulation of previous experiences.”
The Effect of Embodied Experiences on Self-Other Merging, Attitude, and Helping Behavior (2013, background): “Real experiences in the physical world become associated and stored with existing memories and these memories are later activated and recalled when the individual encounters or thinks about similar stimuli (Barsalou, 2009).”
Silent Reading of Direct versus Indirect Speech Activates Voice-selective Areas in the Auditory Cortex (2011, background): “…by guest on 31 May 2021 simulation (i.e., the mental reenactment of perceptual, motor, and introspective states acquired during experience with the world, body, and mind; Barsalou, 2009) is an automatic and integral part of language comprehension.”
The role of prediction in social neuroscience (2012, positive): “Related to this is the framework of the predictive brain from Barsalou (2009) who describes simulation as a “re-enactment of perceptual, motor, and introspective states (e.g., affect, motivation, intentions, metacognition, etc.)”.”
