故事的读者会构建所描述的情境和人物的心理模型。他们推断角色的行为与其目标之间的因果关系。他们还将注意力集中在角色的动作上，从而激活心理模型的附近部分。这种激活体现在读者回答有关这些部分的问题的速度更快，而距离焦点越远，帮助就越少。最近访问过的以及想象中的位置也会被激活几秒钟。这些暂时激活的模式有助于理解。
Readers of stories construct mental models of the situation and characters described. They infer causal connections relating characters' actions to their goals. They also focus attention on characters' movements, thereby activating nearby parts of the mental model. This activation is revealed in readers' faster answering of questions about such parts, with less facilitation the greater their distance from the focus. Recently visited as well as imagined locations are also activated for several seconds. These patterns of temporary activation facilitate comprehension.
