    "title": "The Spontaneous Use of Perceptual Representations during Conceptual Processing",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Athough both prepositional and perceptual \nrepresentations are viewed as central to human memory, \npropositional representations are typically assumed to \nunderlie conceptual knowledge. Propositional models of \nconcepts, such as feature lists, frames, and networks, \nembody this assumption. Recent theories across the \ncognitive sciences, however, have proposed that \nperceptual representations are central to conceptual \nprocessing. These perceptual representations are \npostulated to be schematic, dynamic, and multimodal \nimages that have been extracted from perception and \nexperience. In the experiment reported here, we used the \nproperty verification task to determine the extent to which \npeople use perceptual representations during conceptual \nprocessing. A regression analysis revealed two kinds of \nevidence for the spontaneous use of perceptual \nrepresentations: First, neutral and imagery subjects \nshowed a similar pattern of reaction times on the task. \nSecond, perceptual variables, such as the property size, \npredicted verification times.",
