The hallmark of the Perceptual Symbol Systems model is the
hypothesized perceptual simulation that is at the core of
conceptual representation. The simulation can be boosted if the
attention is directed towards a given modality, or prevented if
the input information occupies attentional resources within the
given modality. Here, we make use of this effect to demonstrate
that perceptual simulation occurs not only when explicitly
addressing particular sensory feature (as previously
demonstrated), but also in word recognition. We hypothesized
that working memory load in the given modality would cancelout the simulation boosting effect that occurs when the
presentation modality and the modality of perceptual
experience with objects denoted by the given word are the
same. Indeed, our results revealed that the simulation boosting
effect that had been observed in the control condition was
cancelled out under cognitive load condition by the selective
interference. In the light o...f Perceptual Symbol Systems, this is
interpreted as a consequence of the preventing of perceptual
simulation, thus pointing to the role of perceptual simulation in
the process of word recognition.
