Brain, Body and Culture: A Biocultural Theory of Religion (2010, positive): “In this Wilson draws on the work of Barsalou (2005), Gallese & Lakoff (2005) and Zwaan & Taylor (2006) in which sensorimotor simulations are used to represent abstract concepts and relationships " by way of analogical mappings " (Wilson 2010: 184).”
How reading comprehension is embodied and why that matters (2011, background): “The difference between large body movements and speech is resolved with the concept of simulation (Barsalou, 1999; Barsalou, 2008; Gallese & Lakoff, 2005; Glenberg & Gallese, 2011; Zwaan & Taylor, 2006).”
Effects of Integrated Physical Exercises and Gestures on Preschool Children’s Foreign Language Vocabulary Learning (2015, background): “Ample evidence for the embodied cognition framework comes from psychological research in a variety of domains, such as research on action semantics (e.g., Lindemann et al. 2006), language comprehension (e.g., Zwaan and Taylor 2006), and neuroscience (e.g., Glenberg et al. 2008).”
Facilitating Understanding of Movements in Dynamic Visualizations: an Embodied Perspective (2011, background): “…suggests that lower-order sensorimotor representations arising from mental simulation also play an important role in a variety of higher-order cognitive tasks such as language comprehension (e.g., Dijkstra et al. 2007; Gallese and Lakoff 2005; Glenberg and Kaschak 2002; Zwaan and Taylor 2006).”
Linguistic Distributional Knowledge and Sensorimotor Grounding both Contribute to Semantic Category Production (2020, background): “…studies have further demonstrated complex interactions between the sensorimotor information that is processed during perception/action and that simulated during conceptual processing (Connell & Lynott, 2010, 2014a; Connell, Lynott, & Dreyer, 2012; Dils & Boroditsky, 2010; Zwaan & Taylor, 2006).”
Embodiment for Education (2008, background): “This approach to language comprehension has received strong support (e.g., Glenberg & Robertson, 1999, 2000 ; Borghi et al., 2004 ; Chambers et al., 2004 ; Zwaan & Taylor, 2006 ).”
Simulation, situated conceptualization, and prediction (2009, background): “For example, comprehension is facilitated when the action described in a sentence is consistent with the action to make a response (Glenberg & Kaschak 2003; Zwaan & Taylor 2006).”
An Evolutionary Upgrade of Cognitive Load Theory: Using the Human Motor System and Collaboration to Support the Learning of Complex Cognitive Tasks (2012, background): “2006), language comprehension (Zwaan and Taylor 2006), and neuroscience (Glenberg et al.”
Embodied Language: A Review of the Role of the Motor System in Language Comprehension (2008, background): “A few recent studies have taken this step (Glenberg et al., 2008 this issue; Taylor & Zwaan, 2008 this issue; Zwaan & Taylor, 2006).”
Symbol Interdependency in Symbolic and Embodied Cognition (2011, methodology): “All 18 items for Zwaan and Taylor (2006) were used to create an 18 · 18 LSA cosine matrix.”
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): “This is in general completely absent in anisotropic NMR spectra because of the complex nature of the spin Hamiltonian.”
Getting the point: Tracing worked examples enhances learning (2015, result): “Their argument has been supported by other behavioral studies (e.g., Glenberg, Sato, Cattaneo, Riggio, Palumbo, & Buccino, 2008; Scorolli, Borghi, & Glenberg, 2009; Zwaan & Taylor, 2006) and work in the neurosciences (for a review, see Pulvermüller, 2005).”
