DOI: 10.1007/s10936-021-09796-x
Abstract: Negation is known to have inhibitory consequences for the information under its scope. However, how it produces such effects remains poorly understood. Recently, it has been proposed that negation processing might be implemented at the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cortex.2021.11.015
Abstract: Negation applied to action contexts reduces the activation of the motor system. According to the Reusing Inhibition for Negation (RIN) hypothesis, such "disembodiment" effect occurs because understanding negations engages the reuse of inhibitory control mechanisms.… read more here.
