Grounding Procedural and Declarative Knowledge in Sensorimotor Anticipation (2011, background): “…domains, including action planning and execution, imagery, understanding others’ actions, © 2011 Blackwell Publishing Ltd and imitation are essentially goal-directed (Barsalou, 2003; Decety and Grèzes, 2006; Frith, 2007; Gallese and Metzinger, 2003; Jeannerod, 2001; Wohlschlaeger et al., 2003).”
The stability and flexibility of spatial categories. (2005, background): “What processes give rise to categories that are both stable and Xexible? In recent years, there has been a shift from viewing categories as static representations with inherent structures (e.g., Mandler, 1993; Mandler & McDonough, 1993; Mervis, 1985) toward viewing them as emergent products of cogni”
The influences of restaurant menu font style, background color, and physical weight on consumers’ perceptions (2016, background): “, objects, agents, actions, events, and psychological states) (Barsalou, 2003; Yeh and Barsalou, 2006).”
The theory of constructed emotion: an active inference account of interoception and categorization (2017, positive): “…in assembling populations of predictions, each one having some probability of being the best fit to the current circumstances (i.e., Bayesian priors), the brain is constructing concepts (Barrett, 2017) or what Barsalou refers to as ‘ad hoc’ concepts (Barsalou, 1983, 2003; Barsalou et al., 2003).”
Imagining predictions: mental imagery as mental emulation (2009, background): “…cannot reject as easily, however, the possibility that some implicit simulations exist—speciﬁcally in implicit memory, high-level perception, sensorimotor coordination, conceptual knowledge (Barsalou 1999, 2003, 2008), language comprehension (Pulvermuller 2005) and social cognition (Gallese 2006).”
Entertainment is Emotion: The Functional Architecture of the Entertainment Experience (2008, background): “Recent cognitive neuroscience studies have established the insight that the apparent reality of imagined objects and events is due to embodied simulation of these (eg, Barsalou 2003 ; Goldman, 2006 ).”
A Framework for Re‐thinking Learning in Science from Recent Cognitive Science Perspectives (2010, background): “There is growing recognition that recent accounts by cognitive scientists of how learners learn pose challenges for current understanding of conceptual learning in science (Barsalou, 1999 , 2003 ; Clark, 1997 ; Klein, 2006 ).”
The Embodiment of Emotion (2008, background): “Heterogeneity in the perceptual symbols that issue from any emotion simulator will be further enhanced by the production of novel simulations, that is, representations of things that have never been encountered together (Barsalou, 2003).”
Précis of Semantic Cognition: A Parallel Distributed Processing Approach (2008, background): “Barsalou (2003) has reviewed evidence that the properties generated to a noun concept relate to an imagined situational context – so that, for example, very different properties would be generated for a car seen in a parking lot versus a car from the point of view of a driver.”
Solving the Emotion Paradox: Categorization and the Experience of Emotion (2006, background): “First, the act of catego- rization performs a kind of figure-ground segregation (Barsalou, 1999, 2003) so that the experience of an emotion will pop out as a separate event from the ebb and flow in ongoing core affect (where core affect is associated with the direction and urgency of initial…”
The Function of Fiction is the Abstraction and Simulation of Social Experience (2008, background): “Barsalou (2003), for example, claims that the primary function of the cognitive system is to create a simulation that mediates objects of perception and possible action across different modalities.”
The brain basis of emotion: A meta-analytic review (2012, positive): “Emotions are “situated conceptualizations” (cf. Barsalou 2003) because the emerging meaning is tailored to the immediate environment and prepares the person to respond to sensory input in a way that is tailored to the situation (Barrett 2006b).”
Concreteness Fading in Mathematics and Science Instruction: a Systematic Review (2014, background): “According to an embodied theory of cognition, high-level cognitive processes (e.g., language, mathematics) stem from action and perception (Barsalou 2003; Lakoff and Nunez 2000).”
