How do we understand the meaning of language? One of the most popular hypotheses nowadays is that people simulate the content of language in order to understand its meaning. In a curious experiment published in 2008, Glenberg et al. showed that moving beans in a specific direction hampered the processing of sentences describing movements in that direction. These results support the idea that we engage in motor simulations during language comprehension.
