越来越多的证据表明，理解我们的第一语言(L1)会导致大脑中经验性感觉运动轨迹的重新激活。令人惊讶的是，关于这些过程在第二语言(L2)加工过程中的参与，我们知之甚少。受试者看到L1或L2单词表示具有典型位置的实体(例如，星星、鼹鼠)(实验1和2)或表示一种情绪(例如，高兴、悲伤)(实验3)。参与者对单词的墨水颜色的反应是向上或向下移动手臂。尽管词义完全与任务无关，但L2会自动激活与L1类似的运动反应，即使L2是在生命中相当晚的时候获得的(11岁)。具体地说，像星星这样的词促进了向上的反应，而像根这样的词促进了向下的反应。此外，涉及积极情绪的词汇促进了向上反应，而涉及负面情绪的词汇促进了向下反应。综上所述，我们的研究表明，经验痕迹的重新激活并不局限于L1加工。(C)2014 Elsevier Inc.保留所有权利。
Converging evidence suggests that understanding our first-language (L1) results in reactivation of experiential sensorimotor traces in the brain. Surprisingly, little is known regarding the involvement of these processes during second-language (L2) processing. Participants saw L1 or L2 words referring to entities with a typical location (e.g., star, mole) (Experiment 1 & 2) or to an emotion (e.g., happy, sad) (Experiment 3). Participants responded to the words' ink color with an upward or downward arm movement. Despite word meaning being fully task-irrelevant, L2 automatically activated motor responses similar to L1 even when L2 was acquired rather late in life (age >11). Specifically, words such as star facilitated upward, and words such as root facilitated downward responses. Additionally, words referring to positive emotions facilitated upward, and words referring to negative emotions facilitated downward responses. In summary our study suggests that reactivation of experiential traces is not limited to L1 processing. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
