Immediate sensorimotor grounding of novel concepts learned from language alone
Theories of grounded cognition postulate that concepts are grounded in sensorimotor
experience. But how can that be for concepts like Atlantis for which we do not have that …

Decreasing materiality from print to screen reading
The shift from print to screen has bodily effects on how we read. We distinguish two
dimensions of embodied reading: the spatio-temporal and the imaginary. The former relates …
