Walker, Peter; Parameswaran, Caroline Regina – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
In sound symbolism, a word's sound induces expectations about the nature of a salient aspect of the word's referent. P. Walker (2016a) proposed that cross-sensory correspondences can be the source of these expectations, and the present study assessed three implications flowing from this proposal. First, sound symbolism will embrace a wide range of…

Janczyk, Markus; Pfister, Roland; Crognale, Michael A.; Kunde, Wilfried – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2012
The last decades have seen a growing interest in the impact of action on perception and other concurrent cognitive processes. One particularly interesting example is that manual rotation actions facilitate mental rotations in the same direction. The present study extends this research in two fundamental ways. First, Experiment 1 demonstrates that…
