    "abstract": "Comprehending action language recruits the action system.\nTo what extent do action simulations reflect the fine-grained\nparameters of real world action? We investigate whether\naction simulations are sensitive to speed of an action. In two\nexperiments participants completed a motor task where they\nmoved slowly or quickly, followed by a sentence sensibility\ntask. We found an overall action effect for sentences\ndescribing hand actions: moving slowly increased accuracy\n(Exp.1) and reduced response time (Exp. 2). For sentences\ndescribing full-body actions, responses were more accurate\nwhen movement speed matched the speed implied in the\nsentence, in Experiment 1 only. This study demonstrates\nonline action simulation and provides evidence that speed of\naction can be simulated during sentence comprehension.",
