Abstract

Abstract Evidence from recent studies investigating the functional and neural mechanisms supporting action semantics, i.e., the knowledge of how to use objects in a functionally appropriate manner, suggests that semantic processing for action is not restricted to high-level perceptual processing in the ventral stream but is directly associated with activation in dorsal areas, i.e., the motor system, and motor performance. These findings argue for a distributed and interactive account of action semantics and against functionally independent processing in dorsal and ventral stream areas.
