A new paper on interoceptive and exteroceptive experiences for concepts, with mouse tracking. Interoception counts for abstract concepts, but even more for concrete concepts of natural elements (e.g., ocean, forest). Thanks @laurabarca.bsky.social, S. Diana, D.C.Duarte, @giusiporciello.bsky.social.
