Is rushing always faster than strolling? A reaction time study on the processing of sentences containing manner of motion verbs

In the context of the embodied cognition debate, an effect of motion verb associated speed information has previously been detected using eye-tracking, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and reaction times (RT). The latter, for instance, was implemented by Wender and Weber (1982), who obs...
