S&T

Passive

Deemed a very low embodied condition on all counts; cannot account for whether participants visualize text

Passive

Sensorimotor = low

Gestural congruency = low

Immersion = high

(3) High Embodied

Hi-EMB

Active

Gestural congruency = high

Immersion = high

(4) High Embodied-Narr

Hi-EMB/Narr
