Learning and Processing Abstract Words and Concepts: Insights From Typical and Atypical Development
Topics in Cognitive Science 10 (3):533-549 (2018)
Abstract
The Affective grounding hypothesis suggests that affective experiences play a crucial role in abstract concepts’ processing (Kousta et al. 2011). Vigliocco and colleagues test the role of affective experiences as well as the role of language in learning words denoting abstract concepts, comparing children with typical and atypical development. They conclude that besides the affective experiences also language plays a critical role in the processing of words referring to abstract concepts.My notes
