  1. Embodied Simulations Are Modulated by Sentential Perspective.O. van Dam Wessel & H. Desai Rutvik - 2017 - Cognitive Science 41 (6):1613-1628.
    There is considerable evidence that language comprehenders derive lexical‐semantic meaning by mentally simulating perceptual and motor attributes of described events. However, the nature of these simulations—including the level of detail that is incorporated and contexts under which simulations occur—is not well understood. Here, we examine the effects of first‐ versus third‐person perspective on mental simulations during sentence comprehension. First‐person sentences describing physical transfer towards or away from the body (e.g., “You threw the microphone,” “You caught the microphone”) modulated response latencies (...)

Here, we examine the effects of first- versus third-person perspective on mental simulations during sentence comprehension.
