Dissociating object-based and space-based affordances (2005, background): “Instead it may be that a common code (Hommel et al., 2001), or a particular visuomotor primitive common to many different actions (Tucker & Ellis, 2001), coded, in an abstract fashion, for orientation and lateralized responses.”
A critical look at the embodied cognition hypothesis and a new proposal for grounding conceptual content. (2008, unknown): “This does not mean that an embodied cognition hypothesis would not face its own challenges about specifying the nature of the interface between perceptual and motor systems (Hommel et al., 2001).”
Processing negated sentences with contradictory predicates: Is a door that is not open mentally closed? (2006, methodology): “Research on motor control (e.g., Hommel et al., 2001) indicates that the goal state of an action is represented and used as guidance in action planning.”
Embodied Language: A Review of the Role of the Motor System in Language Comprehension (2008, methodology): “Depending on one’s interpretation, the common coding view, as represented in TEC, either offers an even more reductive role for cognition (because all goal-directed planning eventually dissolves into the common feature representations for perception and action), or else successfully abandons the con”
