DOI: 10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2019.05.032
Abstract: Concrete words have been shown to have a processing advantage over abstract words, yet theoretical accounts and neural correlates underlying the distinction between concrete and abstract concepts are still unresolved. In an fMRI study, participants… read more here.

Interoception: the forgotten modality in perceptual grounding of abstract and concrete concepts
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences"
DOI: 10.1098/rstb.2017.0143
Abstract: Conceptual representations are perceptually grounded, but when investigating which perceptual modalities are involved, researchers have typically restricted their consideration to vision, touch, hearing, taste and smell. However, there is another major modality of perceptual information… read more here.
