This is further corroborated by previous studies reporting better recognition and priming-related reduction in neural activation for objects following videos of hands pantomiming a congruent action compared with an incongruent one (Sim, Helbig, Graf, & Kiefer, 2015).

The role of executive functions in supporting the pragmatics of communication has been extensively examined in clinical populations, but is still under-explored in healthy aging. In this study we addressed the role of executive skills, including inhibition, working memory, and cognitive flexibility, in...
The standard finding is that, beyond a general priming effect whereby responses are slowest in the no-match condition, responses tend to be faster in the same-object condition than in the different-object condition (e.g., Hollingworth & Franconeri, 2009; Kahneman et al., 1992; Mitroff & ...
In individuals who know more than one language, the languages are always active to some degree.
