Fernandino, Leonardo; Iacoboni, Marco – Brain and Language, 2010
The embodied cognition approach to the study of the mind proposes that higher order mental processes such as concept formation and language are essentially based on perceptual and motor processes. Contrary to the classical approach in cognitive science, in which concepts are viewed as amodal, arbitrary symbols, embodied semantics argues that…

Kim, A-H.; Vaughn, S.; Wanzek, J.; Wei, S. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2004
Previous research studies examining the effects of graphic organizers on reading comprehension for students with learning disabilities (LD) are reviewed. An extensive search of the professional literature between 1963 and June 2001 yielded a total of 21 group design intervention studies that met the criteria for inclusion in the synthesis. Using…

Barner, David; Snedeker, Jesse – Cognition, 2005
Three experiments explored the semantics of the mass-count distinction in young children and adults. In Experiments 1 and 2, the quantity judgments of participants provided evidence that some mass nouns refer to individuals, as such. Participants judged one large portion of stuff to be ''more'' than three tiny portions for substance-mass nouns…

Vigliocco, Gabriella; Kita, Sotaro – Language and Cognitive Processes, 2006
This paper presents a discussion of the constraints imposed on lexicalisation during production by language-specific patterns, such as whether words exist in a language to describe a given event and whether language-specific syntactic and phonological information correlates with semantic properties. First, we introduce in broad strokes relevant…

Armon-Lotem, Sharon; Crain, Stephen; Varlokosta, Spyridoula – Language Acquisition, 2004
This article is concerned with the correspondence conditions that hold between certain semantic relations--including part-whole relations, possession, location, and the semantic features [+- animate] or [+- count]--and certain syntactic structures including genitives and relative clauses. The objective is to determine the extent to which these…

Faber, Pamela – Language Awareness, 1998
Describes an exercise in lexical analysis, involving verbs of sound in English and Spanish. The aim of the exercise is to enable students to discover underlying patterns of meaning that are representative of lexical-conceptual structure. (Author/VL)

Cronin, Hines; And Others – Educational Leadership, 1990
In 1987, as a vehicle for improving student performance, Moss Point (Mississippi) Schools embraced semantic or cognitive mapping. Using highly structured computer programs, students learn to construct visual maps representing the relationships of major ideas, subordinate ideas, and explicit information. Includes six references.
