Abstract
⺠We investigated the role of the motor system in action-related language processing. ⺠PD patients and controls performed lexical decision and semantic judgment tasks. ⺠The words were either action verbs or abstract verbs. ⺠PD patients were more impaired in action verb processing in both tasks. ⺠The motor system plays a causal role in action language semantics.
