The Neural Selection and Integration of Actions and Objects: An fMRI Study (2012, methodology): “Actions are typically associated with a particular grip and the way one grasps an object affect the way it can be used (Johnson-Frey, 2003 , 2004 ; Johnson & Grafton, 2003 ); therefore, we kept the action–grip relation compatible across different objects.”
Automatic emotion regulation (2005, background): “…suggest that parts of the parietal lobe are associated with implicitly activated motor programs (Decety & Grèzes, 1999; Jeannerod, Arbib, Rizzolatti, & Sakata, 1995; Johnson-Frey, 2004; Martin, Haxby, Lalonde, & Wiggs, 1995; Milner & Goodale, 1995; Tettamanti et al., 2005, for a meta-analysis).”
A critical look at the embodied cognition hypothesis and a new proposal for grounding conceptual content. (2008, positive): “…converge on two empirical facts: patients can be impaired for using objects despite being unimpaired for: (1) naming the same objects, and (2) recognizing the pantomimes associated with the uses of those objects (for reviews, see Johnson-Frey , 2004; Mahon and Caramazza, 2005; Rothi et al., 1991).”
Consensus Paper: The Cerebellum's Role in Movement and Cognition (2013, methodology): “On the other hand, using tools is one of the fundamental cognitive functions [226].”
Tools for the body (schema). (2004, background): “Indeed, the intelligent use of complex tools seems peculiar to the human species, probably as a result of our brain organization and the specialization for praxic skills and linguistic competences (see, for example, [ 55 ] in this issue; [48,56‐58]).”
