Importantly, the evidence for stronger cortical activation (Pulvermüller et al., 2001) and motor links (Fadiga, Craighero, Buccino, & Rizzolatti, 2002; Watkins, Strafella, & Paus, 2003) of words compared with pseudowords supports the existence of action-perception circuits for spoken words.
In other words, compared to male participants, female participants were likely to use more self- and motor-related representations during the imagination task, which is consistent with neuroimaging findings on gender-specific neural activity during both visuospatial and emotional perspective taking [65], [76], [78].
Memory for the source of the information was deficient for generated words compared with provided words.
Better reading performance for words compared to number words may have been caused by longer number words.
Control children showed stronger activation for LF words compared to HF or PS words (see above).
Next, we looked at the morphological characteristics of word frequency and word transparency in derived morphologically complex words compared to matched control words.
Semantic priming occurs when a subject is faster in recognising a target word when it is preceded by a related word compared to an unrelated word.
Kellenbach et al. [31], using ERP, found that the earliest effect associated with semantic attributes was elicited by motor words at about 250 ms, compared with abstract and visual words.
a The hydrolysis activity of the native molecular motor compared to the reconstructed molecular motor.
Because the application of interest may involve multiple motors firing simultaneously, the heat flux from multiple motors is projected based on data collected for a single motor test, and compared to the data from two, three-motor configuration test.
