Motor Activity and Verbal Behavior
Copyright policy )Motor Activity and Verbal Behavior
The present study was undertaken to investigate the effects of motor activity upon verbal behavior. 120 8th grade students served as Ss distributed among 6 experimental samples. Although Ss failed to condition verbally, and no interaction effect was found between verbal conditioning and motor activity, it was found that Ss engaged in a motor activity (finger tapping) significantly more often selected verbs denoting gross motor activity than did Ss not so engaged. The results are interpreted to support Razran's (1961) contention of the importance of proprioceptive and motor-interoceptive signals upon words and their equivalents.
