Laterality, evolution and the IPL in the semantic-action system Comment on 'Action semantics: A unifying conceptual framework for the selective use of multimodal and modality-specific object knowledge' by Michiel van Elk, Hein van Schie, Harold Bekkering

摘要

van Elk et al. [1] provide a very comprehensive and greatly informative review of the interrelations between the action and semantic systems, and their overall framework fits nicely with my own views. There are, however, two criticisms that I would like to make which I believe are relevant to the biological foundations of their model.
