Playing on the typewriter , typing on the piano : manipulation knowledge of objects . Two experiments investigated sensory/motor-based functional knowledge of man-made objects : manipulation features associated with the actual usage of objects . In Experiment 1 , a series of prime-target pairs was presented auditorily , and participants were asked to make a lexical decision on the target word . Participants made a significantly faster decision about the target word ( e.g . 'typewriter ' ) following a related prime that shared manipulation features with the target ( e.g . 'piano ' ) than an unrelated prime ( e.g . 'blanket ' ) . In Experiment 2 , participants ' eye movements were monitored when they viewed a visual display on a computer screen while listening to a concurrent auditory input . Participants were instructed to simply identify the auditory input and touch the corresponding object on the computer display . Participants fixated an object picture ( e.g . " typewriter " ) related to a target word ( e.g . 'piano ' ) significantly more often than an unrelated object picture ( e.g . " bucket " ) as well as a visually matched control ( e.g . " couch " ) . Results of the two experiments suggest that manipulation knowledge of words is retrieved without conscious effort and that manipulation knowledge constitutes a part of the lexical-semantic representation of objects .
