想象中的人体空间变换相对于更不熟悉的物体的认知优势（例如，Shepard-Metzler [S-M] cubes）是验证视觉感知运动理论的一个问题。在6个实验中，作者表明，提供具有身体特征的S-M立方体（例如，通过将头部添加到S-M立方体以唤起姿势）促进将一个人的身体的认知坐标系映射到抽象形状上。进而，该空间实施例改进了对象形状匹配。由于人体姿势在人体图式中的凝聚力增加，与在类似空间配置下的物体（S-M立方体或摆臂台灯）相比，身体的想象转换以不那么零碎的方式运作，前提是姿势可以体现。如果姿势不能被感觉运动系统模仿（内隐模仿），由于运动体现的促进作用也将被破坏。
The cognitive advantage of imagined spatial transformations of the human body over that of more unfamiliar objects (e.g., Shepard-Metzler [S-M] cubes) is an issue for validating motor theories of visual perception. In 6 experiments, the authors show that providing S-M cubes with body characteristics (e.g., by adding a head to S-M cubes to evoke a posture) facilitates the mapping of the cognitive coordinate system of one's body onto the abstract shape. In turn, this spatial embodiment improves object shape matching. Thanks to the increased cohesiveness of human posture in people's body schema, imagined transformations of the body operate in a less piecemeal fashion as compared with objects (S-M cubes or swing-arm desk lamps) under a similar spatial configuration, provided that the pose can be embodied. If the pose cannot be emulated (covert imitation) by the sensorimotor system, the facilitation due to motoric embodiment will also be disrupted.
