在四个实验中，参与者被呈现名词，这些名词指的是与向上或向下位置相关联的实体（例如，roof，root）.所需的响应要么与所指位置兼容要么不兼容（例如，在阅读屋顶之后向上运动与向下运动）。在整个实验中，我们操纵实验任务是否需要单词阅读，以及反应是否涉及运动或静止。在所有实验中，参与者的反应在兼容条件下比在不兼容条件下明显更快。这有力地表明，当名词被处理时，位置信息被自动激活。
In four experiments, participants were presented with nouns referring to entities that are associated with an up or down location (e.g., roof, root). The required response either was compatible with the referent location or was not (e.g., upward vs. downward movement after reading roof). Across experiments, we manipulated whether the experimental task required word reading or not, as well as whether the response involved a movement or was stationary. In all experiments, participants' responses were significantly faster in the compatible than in the incompatible condition. This strongly suggests that location information is automatically activated when nouns are being processed.
