Direct linkKaschak, Michael P.; Madden, Carol J.; Therriault, David J.; Yaxley, Richard H.; Aveyard, Mark; Blanchard, Adrienne A.; Zwaan, Rolf A. – Cognition, 2005
Recently developed accounts of language comprehension propose that sentences are understood by constructing a perceptual simulation of the events being described. These simulations involve the re-activation of patterns of brain activation that were formed during the comprehender's interaction with the world. In two experiments we explored the…

Peer reviewedBurack, Jacob A.; Enns, James T.; Iarocci, Grace; Randolph, Beth – Developmental Psychology, 2000
Examined visual search for compound patterns in 6-, 8-, 10-, and 22-year-olds. Found large improvements with age in search rate for long-range targets; search rate for short-range targets was fairly constant across age. This pattern held regardless of ease of perceptual access to target, supporting the hypothesis of different processes involved at…
