观察和微笑都能激活同样的面部肌肉。在实验1中，我们预测并发现，言语刺激（动作动词），指的是情绪表达引起相同的面部肌肉活动（面部肌电图）的视觉刺激。这些结果表明，语言指的是面部肌肉活动是不是amodal，传统上认为，而是身体接地。这些发现在实验2中得到了扩展，在实验2中，阈下呈现的言语刺激被证明可以驱动肌肉激活并形成判断，但当肌肉激活被阻断时则不然。这些实验为语言的神经生物学基础研究和相关的行为学研究提供了重要的桥梁。这些发现对语言理论和认知心理学的其他领域（例如，引发）进行了讨论。
Observing and producing a smile activate the very same facial muscles. In Experiment 1, we predicted and found that verbal stimuli (action verbs) that refer to emotional expressions elicit the same facial muscle activity (facial electromyography) as visual stimuli do. These results are evidence that language referring to facial muscular activity is not amodal, as traditionally assumed, but is instead bodily grounded. These findings were extended in Experiment 2, in which subliminally presented verbal stimuli were shown to drive muscle activation and to shape judgments, but not when muscle activation was blocked. These experiments provide an important bridge between research on the neurobiological basis of language and related behavioral research. The implications of these findings for theories of language and other domains of cognitive psychology (e.g., priming) are discussed.
