How Language Programs the Mind (2016, methodology): “The simulations formed when processing " You handed Andy the pizza " and " Andy handed you the pizza " are measurably different even though they contain the same words (Glenberg & Kaschak, 2002).”
Act-In: An integrated view of memory mechanisms (2014, neutral): “…and the target may share various components such as motor components (e.g., Brouillet, Heurley, Martin, & Brouillet, 2010; Ellis & Tucker, 2000; Glenberg & Kaschak, 2002; Helbig, Graf, & Kiefer, 2006; Labeye, Oker, Badard, & Versace, 2008; Myung, Blumstein, & Sedivy, 2006; Olivier, 2006;…”
Image schemata in the brain (2005, background): “Glenberg and Kaschak (2002) found similar effects for participants who listened to sentences describing bodily motions either toward or away from the body (e.g. “pull/push”) and then responded via a sequence of button presses in a congruent or incongruent direction of movement (toward or away from…”
Non-commercial Research and Educational Use including without Limitation Use in Instruction at Your Institution, Sending It to Specific Colleagues That You Know, and Providing a Copy to Your Institution's Administrator. All Other Uses, Reproduction and Distribution, including without Limitation Comm (2005, neutral): “A u t h o r ' s p e r s o n a l”
Conversation and Coordinative Structures (2009, background): “Moreover, the inhibition of motor activity during cognitive processing (Frick-Horbury & Guttentag, 1998) or imposed inconsistency between motor activity and cognitive responses ( Glenberg & Kaschak, 2001; de’Sperati & Stucchi, 2000) appears to disrupt cognitive performance.”
The Immersed Experiencer: Toward An Embodied Theory Of Language Comprehension (2003, background): “• Violations of object affordances will be more difficult to understand than non-violations (Glenberg & Kaschak, 2002).”
Your highness: vertical positions as perceptual symbols of power. (2005, background): “Actual motor movement can either interfere with or facilitate this simulation (cf. Glenberg & Kaschak, 2003).”
The contents of long-term memory and the emergence of knowledge (2009, methodology): “A congruence effect was also obtained by Glenberg and Kaschak (2002), who asked their participants to judge whether or not sentences were meaningful.”
Neural reflections of meaning in gesture, language, and action (2009, background): “Singer and Goldin Meadow 2005). For instance, Graham and Argyle (1975) had speakers describe abstract line drawings with and without gestures, and required listeners to make drawings on the basis of the speakers’ input.”
When is a linguistic metaphor a conceptual metaphor (2009, background): “…history (Lafargue 1898/1906; Sweetser 1991), patterns of child language acquisition (Bowerman 1994; Johnson 1999), computational modeling of abstract word meanings (Narayanan 1997), and experimental data on language processing (e.g. Boroditsky 2000, 2001; Gibbs 1994; Glenberg and Kaschak, 2002).”
Grounding conceptual knowledge in modality-specific systems. (2003, background): “When verifying that ‘Open the drawer’ is a sensible sentence (as opposed to an anomalous one), responses are faster when the response action is a pulling motion instead of a pushing one [ 30 ].”
Visible embodiment: Gestures as simulated action (2008, background): “Along similar lines, Glenberg and Kaschak (2002) also found an action-compatibility effect for abstract sentences in which the motion was metaphorical (e.g., She told me the story implies metaphorical movement of information toward the body).”
The Brain's concepts: the role of the Sensory-motor system in conceptual knowledge (2005, background): “Indeed, Glenberg and Kaschak (2002) recently showed an action-sentence compatibility effect in normal subjects required to determine the correctness of read sentences describing concrete or abstract actions towards or away from the body, by moving their hand either towards or away from the body.”
