    "abstract": "Embodied cognition theories predict that changing motor\ncontrol would change cognitive control, as cognition is\nconsidered to emerge from action in this theoretical approach.\nWe tested this prediction, by examining the attention and\ncognitive control capabilities of a group of school students\n(12-13-year-olds) trained to write using both hands\n(experimental group, N=28), compared to a group of age-\nmatched children (control group, N=33) who did not receive\nsuch training. The key tasks used were the attentional network\ntest (ANT) task and the hearts and flowers (HF) task. Results\nfrom the ANT task showed that there was no significant\ndifference in the three attentional networks between the\ngroups. However, results from the HF task showed that the\nexperimental group had better inhibitory control. This second\nresult provides support to the embodied cognition prediction\nthat cognitive control and motor control are related, and the\nformer can be changed to some extent by changing the latter.",
