Nicholas D. Duran; Amie Paige; Sidney K. D'Mello – Cognitive Science, 2024
Cocreating meaning in collaboration is challenging. Success is often determined by people's abilities to coordinate their language to converge upon shared mental representations. Here we explore one set of low-level linguistic behaviors, linguistic alignment, that both emerges from, and facilitates, outcomes of high-level convergence. Linguistic…

Lexical alignment, a communication phenomenon where conversational partners adapt their word choices to become more similar, plays an important role in the development of language and social communication skills. While this has been studied extensively in the conversations of preschool-aged children and their parents in Western, Educated,…

Garofalo, Gioacchino; Marino, Barbara F. M.; Bellelli, Stefano; Riggio, Lucia – Cognitive Science, 2021
We performed three experiments to investigate whether adjectives can modulate the sensorimotor activation elicited by nouns. In Experiment 1, nouns of graspable objects were used as stimuli. Participants had to decide if each noun referred to a natural or artifact, by performing either a precision or a power reach-to-grasp movement. Response grasp…

In the current study, we investigate, in an implicit/indirect way, whether children understand that a story character's belief…

Gu, Yan; Zheng, Yeqiu; Swerts, Marc – Cognitive Science, 2019
The "temporal-focus hypothesis" claims that whether people conceptualize the past or the future as in front of them depends on their cultural attitudes toward time; such conceptualizations can be independent from the space-time metaphors expressed through language. In this paper, we study how Chinese people conceptualize time on the…
