Events are temporally bounded experiences involving people, objects, and actions that can be segmented into sequences of smaller, meaningful events (e.g., steps involved in constructing a piece of furniture), but the role of inner language in remembering such events has been unclear.

- * Researchers combined data from the SEER-Medicare program and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to analyze individuals enrolled in housing assistance programs and their cancer diagnoses between 2006 and 2021.
- * The findings reveal a substantial number of individuals receiving housing assistance also faced cancer diagnoses, suggesting further exploration is needed to understand how housing assistance may influence cancer care and health disparities among different racial and ethnic groups.
concepts are relevant to a wide range of disciplines, including cognitive science, linguistics, psychology, cognitive, social, and affective neuroscience, and philosophy. This consensus paper synthesizes the work and views of researchers in the field, discussing current perspectives on theoretical and methodological issues, and recommendations for future research. In this paper, we urge researchers to go beyond the traditional abstract-concrete dichotomy and consider the multiple dimensions that characterize concepts (e.

Semantic richness theory predicts that words with richer, more distinctive semantic representations should facilitate performance in a word recognition memory task. We investigated the contribution of multiple aspects of sensorimotor experience-those relating to the body, communication, food, and objects-to word recognition memory, by analyzing megastudy data in a series of hierarchical linear regressions. We found that different forms of sensorimotor experience produced different effects on memory.
