Grasping Ideas with the Motor System: Semantic Somatotopy in Idiom Comprehension (2009)

Boulenger, Véronique, Hauk, Olaf, Pulvermüller, Friedemann

Single words and sentences referring to bodily actions activate the motor cortex. However, this semantic grounding of concrete language does not address the critical question whether the...

Word processing in Parkinson's disease is impaired for action verbs but not for concrete nouns. (2008)

Boulenger, Véronique, Mechtouff, Laura, Thobois, Stéphane, Broussolle, Emmanuel, Jeannerod, Marc, Nazir, Tatjana

Recent studies have demonstrated that processing of action words recruits cortical motor regions that are also involved in the planning and execution of the actions words refer to. The functional...

Language-induced motor perturbations during the execution of a reaching movement. (2008)

Nazir, Tatjana A, Boulenger, Véronique, Roy, Alice, Silber, Beata, Jeannerod, Marc, Paulignan, Yves

In a recent study Boulenger et al. (2006) found that processing action verbs assisted reaching movement when the word was processed prior to movement onset and interfered with the movement when the...

Subliminal display of action words interferes with motor planning: a combined EEG and kinematic study. (2008)

Boulenger, Véronique, Silber, Beata Y, Roy, Alice C, Paulignan, Yves, Jeannerod, Marc, Nazir, Tatjana A

Recent evidence has shown that processing action-related language and motor action share common neural representations to a point that the two processes can interfere when performed concurrently. To...

Differential effects of age-of-acquisition for concrete nouns and action verbs: evidence for partly distinct representations? (2007)

Boulenger, Véronique, Décoppet, Nathalie, Roy, Alice C, Paulignan, Yves, Nazir, Tatjana A

There is growing evidence that words that are acquired early in life are processed faster and more accurately than words acquired later, even by adults. As neuropsychological and neuroimaging studies...

Le Langage et l'Action : Dynamique des liens unissant verbes d'action et contrôle moteur (2006)

Boulenger, Véronique

Une perspective récente considère que la compréhension du sens des mots fasse appel, outre aux aires de Broca et Wernicke, au système sensori-moteur. A cet égard, l’étude du traitement des...

Cross-talk between language processes and overt motor behavior in the first 200 msec of processing (2006)

Boulenger, Véronique, Roy, Alice C, Paulignan, Yves, Deprez, Viviane, Jeannerod, Marc, Nazir, Tatjana A

A recently emerging view sees language understanding as closely linked to sensory and motor processes. The present study investigates this issue by examining the influence of processing action verbs...
