本实验考察了读者是否自发地模拟句子中隐含的听觉成分。参与者阅读那些隐含传达可能引发听觉想象的细节的句子(例如，卡车司机预热钻机时发动机发出嘎嘎的响声)，然后执行一项无关的声音分类任务，在此过程中，他们将声音分为真实声音(发生在世界上)或虚假声音(计算机生成的)。在实验1中，这两个任务是按顺序进行的；在实验2中，它们被分成三个实验块，以排除读者因任务要求而策略性地形成听觉意象的可能性。在这两项研究中，当声音被前面的一句话暗示时，读者更快地正确地将声音归类为“真实”。这些结果表明，即使在没有促进心理模拟的任务的情况下，读者也会在心理上模拟句子的隐含听觉特征。心理模拟描述的事件并不局限于视觉和基于动作的通道，进一步证明了阅读过程中自发激活的知觉符号的多通道性质。爱思唯尔出版公司(Elsevier B.V.)
The present experiments examined whether readers spontaneously simulate implied auditory elements of sentences. Participants read sentences that implicitly conveyed details that could provoke auditory imagery (e.g., The engine clattered as the truck driver warmed up his rig.), and then performed an unrelated sound categorization task during which they classified sounds as real (occurring in the world) or fake (computer generated). In Experiment 1 these two tasks were performed in sequence; in Experiment 2 they were separated into three experimental blocks to rule out the possibility that readers strategically formed auditory imagery as a result of task demands. In both studies, readers were faster to correctly categorize sounds as 'real' when the sounds had been implied by a preceding sentence. These results suggest that readers mentally simulate the implied auditory characteristics of sentences, even in the absence of tasks that promote mental simulation. Mentally simulating described events is not limited to visual and action-based modalities, further demonstrating the multimodal nature of the perceptual symbols spontaneously activated during reading.
