这项研究通过肌电图（EMG）评估了具身模拟，参与者首先用情感概念编码情感模糊的面孔（即，“生气”，“高兴”），后来被动地看脸没有概念。对面孔的记忆也被测量。在最初的编码中，参与者对与“快乐”配对的面孔比对与“愤怒”配对的面孔表现出更多与微笑相关的EMG活动。“后来，在没有概念的情况下，参与者记住了快乐编码的面孔比愤怒编码的面孔更快乐。此外，在被动再暴露于模糊的面孔时，参与者的EMG表明自发的情绪特异性模仿，这反过来又预测了记忆偏差。当参与者编码或观看与非情绪相关的有价概念的面孔时，或者当参与者编码或观看汉字时，没有观察到特定的EMG活动。从具体化的角度来看，情绪模拟是对当前感知的测量。因此，这些发现提供了真正的概念驱动的情绪感知变化的证据。更一般地说，这些发现突出了具体化在情感信息的表征和处理中的作用。
This study assessed embodied simulation via electromyography (EMG) as participants first encoded emotionally ambiguous faces with emotion concepts (i.e., "angry," "happy") and later passively viewed the faces without the concepts. Memory for the faces was also measured. At initial encoding, participants displayed more smiling-related EMG activity in response to faces paired with "happy" than in response to faces paired with "angry." Later, in the absence of concepts, participants remembered happiness-encoded faces as happier than anger-encoded faces. Further, during passive reexposure to the ambiguous faces, participants' EMG indicated spontaneous emotion-specific mimicry, which in turn predicted memory bias. No specific EMG activity was observed when participants encoded or viewed faces with non-emotion-related valenced concepts, or when participants encoded or viewed Chinese ideographs. From an embodiment perspective, emotion simulation is a measure of what is currently perceived. Thus, these findings provide evidence of genuine concept-driven changes in emotion perception. More generally, the findings highlight embodiment's role in the representation and processing of emotional information.
