对话的互动协调理论认为，对话者通过协调他们对所讨论情景的理解来实现对话的成功。之所以会出现这种对齐，是因为它们在不同层次的表示（例如，音韵学、语法、语义）上相互启动，这是可能的，因为这些表示在生产和理解中是共享的。在本文中，我们简要回顾了行为证据，然后考虑认知神经科学的发现如何支持这一说法，假设神经活动的一致性对应于精神状态的一致性。我们首先回顾了支持产生和理解之间表征对等的工作，并提出与产生和理解的语音、词汇和句法方面相关的神经活动密切相关。接下来，我们将考虑情境模型在产生和理解过程中激活和使用的神经基础证据，以及这些证据如何证明与语言使用相关的非语言概念表征的激活。然后，我们回顾了特定于交流行为的神经机制对齐的证据。最后，我们提出了一些需要探索的进一步研究途径，以测试交互式对齐帐户的关键预测。
The interactive-alignment account of dialogue proposes that interlocutors achieve conversational success by aligning their understanding of the situation under discussion. Such alignment occurs because they prime each other at different levels of representation (e.g., phonology, syntax, semantics), and this is possible because these representations are shared across production and comprehension. In this paper, we briefly review the behavioral evidence, and then consider how findings from cognitive neuroscience might lend support to this account, on the assumption that alignment of neural activity corresponds to alignment of mental states. We first review work supporting representational parity between production and comprehension, and suggest that neural activity associated with phonological, lexical, and syntactic aspects of production and comprehension are closely related. We next consider evidence for the neural bases of the activation and use of situation models during production and comprehension, and how these demonstrate the activation of non-linguistic conceptual representations associated with language use. We then review evidence for alignment of neural mechanisms that are specific to the act of communication. Finally, we suggest some avenues of further research that need to be explored to test crucial predictions of the interactive alignment account.
