“…R 2 : amount of variance in trustworthiness accounted for by attractiveness (or vice versa). ***ps < 0.0001 points (≥30 ms) and three neighboring channels (De Vega, Beltrán, García-Marco, & Marrero, 2015). The average ERP activity in the reliable space-by-time clusters was analyzed by means of Task by Response ANOVAs, followed by pairwise contrasts between Yes and No responses for each task and one-way (Task) ANOVAs.…”

Prior research has shown that the more (or less) attractive a face is judged, the more (or less) trustworthy the person is deemed and that some common neural networks are recruited during facial attractiveness and trustworthiness evaluation. To interpret the relationship between attractiveness and trustworthiness (e.g., whether perception of personal trustworthiness may depend on perception of facial attractiveness), we investigated their relative neural processing time course. An event-related potential (ERP) paradigm was used, with localization of brain sources of the scalp neural activity. Face stimuli with a neutral, angry, happy, or surprised expression were presented in an attractiveness judgment, a trustworthiness judgment, or a control (no explicit social judgment) task. Emotional facial expression processing occurred earlier (N170 and EPN, 150-290 ms post-stimulus onset) than attractiveness and trustworthiness processing (P3b, 400-700 ms). Importantly, right-central ERP (C2, C4, C6) differences reflecting discrimination between "yes" (attractive or trustworthy) and "no" (unattractive or untrustworthy) decisions occurred at least 400 ms earlier for attractiveness than for trustworthiness, in the absence of LRP motor preparation differences. Neural source analysis indicated that facial processing brain networks (e.g., LG, FG, and IPL-extending to pSTS), also right-lateralized, were involved in the discrimination time course differences. This suggests that attractiveness impressions precede and might prime trustworthiness inferences and that the neural time course differences reflect truly facial encoding processes.

“…The cognitive processes of a deictic shift are complex; they have been theoretically discussed (Galbraith, 1995 ; Segal, 1995 ) and empirically explored in a few studies (Black et al, 1979 ; García-Marco et al, 2016 ; Zwaan, 2004 ). However, an ERP study performed in our laboratory demonstrated that in some circumstances, readers could use their own geographical deictic center to understand deictic expressions (de Vega et al, 2015 ). Participants were asked to read short paragraphs with deictic verbs describing motions toward or away from the deictic center.…”

“…Interestingly, these effects occurred in sentences with deictic verbs ('coming' and 'going') but not with stative verbs ('being'). The authors concluded that, in the absence of an explicit narrative deictic center, subjects used their own deictic center by default (de Vega et al, 2015 ).…”

“…These empirical facts are relevant for the present study, because we wanted to induce perspective effects based on paralinguistic features of the speaker’s voice that is the regional accent. The present study manipulates linguistic materials to induce geographical-perspective effects, like in de Vega et al's ( 2015 ) study. Specifically, this study aims to explore whether the speaker’s regional accent could induce that the listener takes the self- or the other-deictic perspective.…”

In this study, participants listened to first-person statements that mentioned a character who was approaching a geographical location close to (Tenerife, Canary Islands) or distant from the participant (Madrid, Spanish peninsula), pronounced with either the participants' local or a distal regional accent. Participants more often judged approaching statements as coherent when they refer to a close place pronounced with local accent or refer to a distant place with distal accent, rather than when they refer to a close place with distal accent or to a distant place with local accent. These results strongly suggest that the local accent induces listeners to keep their own geographical perspective, whereas the distal accent determines shifting to another’s perspective. In sum, a subtle paralinguistic cue, the speaker’s regional accent, modulates the participants’ geographic perspective when they listen to identical first-person sentences with approaching deictic verbs.

“…There is now a certain consensus in that action understanding, either observed or verbally described, is based on a process of simulation that requires a multimodal integration of motor, affective and cognitive components of action experience (Amoruso et al, 2013;Barsalou, 2008Barsalou, , 2009Buccino et al 2005;Gallese, 2003;Zwaan, 2004). Previous research has examined the role of motor (Buccino et al, 2005;Chersi, Thill, Ziemke, & Borghi, 2010;de Vega, Moreno, & Castillo, 2013;Glenberg & Kaschak, 2002;Moreno et al, 2015), affective (Havas, Glenberg, Gutowski, Lucarelli, & Davidson, 2010;Havas, Glenberg, & Rinck, 2007) and spatial (Black, Turner, & Bower, 1979;Bower & Rinck, 2001;de Vega, Beltrán, García-Marco, & Marrero, 2015) representations in action language understanding. However, the component of direction (approach/avoidance), a potentially relevant aspect of everyday action to be simulated for understanding, has received little attention.…”

Understanding verbal descriptions of everyday actions could involve the neural representation of action direction (avoidance and approach) toward persons and things. We recorded the electrophysiological activity of participants while they were reading approach/avoidance action sentences that were directed toward a target: a thing/a person (i.e., "Petra accepted/rejected Ramón in her group"/ "Petra accepted/rejected the receipt of the bank"). We measured brain potentials time locked to the target word. In the case of things, we found a N400-like component with right frontal distribution modulated by approach/avoidance action. This component was more negative in avoidance than in approach sentences. In the case of persons, a later negative event-related potential (545-750 ms) with left frontal distribution was sensitive to verb direction, showing more negative amplitude for approach than avoidance actions. In addition, more negativity in approach-person sentences was associated with fear avoidance trait, whereas less negativity in avoidance-person sentences was associated with a greater approach trait. Our results support that verbal descriptions of approach/avoidance actions are encoded differently depending on whether the target is a thing or a person. Implications of these results for a social, emotional and motivational understanding of action language are discussed.
