TL;DR: This paper conducted preregistered replications of 28 classic and contemporary published findings, with protocols that were peer reviewed in advance, to examine variation in effect magnitudes across samples and settings, and found that very little heterogeneity was attributable to the order in which the tasks were performed or whether the task were administered in lab versus online.

TL;DR: The specificity of the processing mechanisms required to construct simulations during language comprehension are explored, and it is suggested that these mechanisms can be quite specific.

TL;DR: The authors found that participants responded more quickly when the implied movement of the balls matched the movement described in the sentence, which supports the view that language comprehension involves dynamic perceptual simulations and provides support for the view of dynamic perceptual simulation.

TL;DR: Gervais et al. as discussed by the authors present evidence from 13 different countries that shows intuitive moral distrust of atheists is pervasive, even among atheists themselves, and conclude that the distrust is even among the majority of atheists themselves.

TL;DR: It is shown that sentence processing can be affected by the concurrent processing of auditory stimuli and the processing of sentences depends on whether the sentences are presented in the auditory or visual modality.
