According to the grounded perspective, cognition emerges from the interaction of classic
cognitive processes with the modalities, the body, and the environment. Rather than being …

Semantic cognition refers to our ability to use, manipulate and generalize knowledge that is
acquired over the lifespan to support innumerable verbal and non-verbal behaviours. This …

Sensorimotor information plays a fundamental role in cognition. However, the existing
materials that measure the sensorimotor basis of word meanings and concepts have been …

Abstract Objects can be characterized according to a vast number of possible criteria (such
as animacy, shape, colour and function), but some dimensions are more useful than others …

The nature of the representational code underlying conceptual knowledge remains a major
unsolved problem in cognitive neuroscience. We assessed the extent to which different …

Abstract Abstract concepts (“freedom”) differ from concrete ones (“cat”), as they do not have
a bounded, identifiable, and clearly perceivable referent. The way in which abstract …

Cognitive Neuroscience of Language provides an up-to-date, wide-ranging, and
pedagogically practical survey of the most important developments in this exciting field. It …

The activations of language transformers like GPT-2 have been shown to linearly map onto
brain activity during speech comprehension. However, the nature of these activations …

Standard neurocognitive models of language processing have tended to obviate the need
for incorporating emotion processes, while affective neuroscience theories have typically …

Spiking neural networks (SNNs) serve as a promising computational framework for
integrating insights from the brain into artificial intelligence (AI). Existing software …
