Caroline, here are some suggestions for working on your article. It was looking really good so far and is such an interesting topic! Smassaro24 (talk) 23:43, 15 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Definition -Change this into a lead/intro paragraph without the “Definition” heading. Try starting with your topic/page name in bold with a definition following it. Then give a broad idea of what the page will entail. -Try breaking down the first sentence, so that it is easier for a general audience to read. From there, you can expand on the article with the more technical wording. -I think you might want to avoid (as best as you can) phrases like “suggests”, “asserts” and “claims.” It makes it seem like Embodied Cognition is suggesting these which seems passive.

Theories -Good study evidence/examples -The title of the section could be more specific, such as “Theory on Influence of Emotion” or something like that?

Experiential Trace -Good explanations -The flow of wording in the experiment explanation could be slightly smoother. Try reading through it to clean it up.

Word Activation -Clearer example sentences would help in this section. For example, your sentence “These action words (such as, jump) produce greater activity levels in the brain than abstract verbs (for example, feel)” could be changed to: “For example, the action word ‘jump,’ produces greater brain activity levels than a more abstract verb such as ‘feel.’”

Schemas -the title of this section could be a little clearer (what are you trying to get across? Something about processes or action?)

ACE -For your description of the Havas and Glenberg study, you may want to clarify the significance of the position of the buttons and how that connects to the notebook example. I was slightly confused by the purpose of the study at first.

Actions Emphasize meaning -For this section, you could refer to gesturing since that is what it seems to be describing. This might be a good place for a link to another page or a study example. Implications -I like that you included this section and it could be expanded if there is more to say here!

Doesn't Lakoff's work on metaphor &c belong in here? What source are you using to ensure comprehensiveness? ---- CharlesTGillingham (talk) 07:55, 8 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
