Experientially-grounded and distributional semantic vectors uncover dissociable representations of conceptual categories
Neuronal populations code similar concepts by similar activity patterns across the human
brain's semantic networks. However, it is unclear to what extent such meaning-to-symbol …

Do not neglect the body and action: The emergence of embodiment approaches to understanding human development
J Marmeleira, G Duarte Santos - Perceptual and motor skills, 2019 - journals.sagepub.com
It is becoming clear that to truly understand what it is to be human, focusing scientific efforts
on the mind alone is insufficient. We are embodied minds, living and acting in a world full of …
