According to grounded cognition accounts, brain regions that are traditionally associated with perception and action play a role in grounding the meaning of words and sentences. Sensory-motor systems are known to support mental simulations that ground conceptual meanings. However, which details of sensory-motor experience is included in these simulations remains unclear. We investigated whether sensory-motor brain regions are differentially involved depending on the magnitude or strength of actions described in a sentence. To answer this question, we examined the neural correlate of relatively strong and weak action sentences. The results demonstrated that sentences that implied strong action, as compared with those that implied weak action, modulated activity within the left inferior parietal lobule, a region of the execution of complex motor movements, tool use and the representation of plans of action. These results suggest that the strength or magnitude of a described action influences representational content and modulates the nature of conceptual grounding. Action-related regions of the brain play a greater role in representing conceptual content linked to strong action.
Abstract
According to grounded cognition accounts, brain regions that are traditionally associated with perception and action play a role in grounding the meaning of words and sentences. Sensory-motor systems are known to support mental simulations that ground conceptual meanings. However, which details of sensory-motor experience is included in these simulations remains unclear. We investigated whether sensory-motor brain regions are differentially involved depending on the magnitude or strength of actions described in a sentence. To answer this question, we examined the neural correlate of relatively strong and weak action sentences. The results demonstrated that sentences that implied strong action, as compared with those that implied weak action, modulated activity within the left inferior parietal lobule, a region of the execution of complex motor movements, tool use and the representation of plans of action. These results suggest that the strength or magnitude of a described action influences representational content and modulates the nature of conceptual grounding. Action-related regions of the brain play a greater role in representing conceptual content linked to strong action.
