Abstract

Introduction: Within Embodied Construction Grammar (ECG), language comprehension is based on semantic simulation. Neurolinguistics research has shown that language production and comprehension depend on other cognitive abilities and that linguistic knowledge is embodied. Following this approach, the present study explores the relationship between motor systems and the processing of action verbs and their impact on motor simulation in children with Cerebral Palsy (CP). Methods: A descriptive-analytical case-control study was conducted with 13 students aged 7 to 12 years with CP (6 boys, 7 girls) from special and mainstream schools in Shiraz, Iran. These children were compared with healthy peers based on specific inclusion criteria. Results: Data from the motor simulation test revealed a statistically significant difference (P<0. 001) in Reaction Times (RTs) between the CP and healthy groups in response to matching verbs, same-effector mismatches, and different-effector mismatches. Conclusion: The findings underscore that cognition is intricately linked to sensory-motor abilities and experiences. Recognizing the linguistic processing of sensory-motor systems at an early age is essential for understanding how these concepts are represented in memory, particularly among Persian-speaking children with CP.
