有大量证据表明，语言理解者通过在心理上模拟所描述事件的感知和运动属性来获得词汇语义。然而，这些模拟的本质——包括所包含的细节水平和模拟发生的背景——还没有得到很好的理解。在这里，我们研究了第一人称视角与第三人称视角对句子理解过程中心理模拟的影响。当沿着前后轴做出响应时，描述朝向或远离身体的物理转移的第一人称句子（例如，“你扔了麦克风”、“你抓住了麦克风”）调节了响应延迟，这与动作句子兼容性效应（ACE）一致。对于第三人称句子（“他扔了麦克风”、“他抓住了麦克风”），没有观察到这种效应。当沿着左右轴对第三人称句子作出反应时，可以观察到 ACE，但对第一人称句子则不然。抽象句子（例如，“他听到了消息”）在任一轴上均未显示 ACE。这些结果表明，视角是在动作句子理解过程中模拟的细节，并且运动激活是灵活的，并受到句子中使用的代词视角的影响。
There is considerable evidence that language comprehenders derive lexical‐semantic meaning by mentally simulating perceptual and motor attributes of described events. However, the nature of these simulations—including the level of detail that is incorporated and contexts under which simulations occur—is not well understood. Here, we examine the effects of first‐ versus third‐person perspective on mental simulations during sentence comprehension. First‐person sentences describing physical transfer towards or away from the body (e.g., “You threw the microphone,” “You caught the microphone”) modulated response latencies when responses were made along a front‐back axis, consistent with the action‐sentence compatibility effect (ACE). This effect was not observed for third‐person sentences (“He threw the microphone,”“He caught the microphone”). The ACE was observed when making responses along a left‐right axis for third‐person, but not first‐person sentences. Abstract sentences (e.g., “He heard the message”) did not show an ACE along either axis. These results show that perspective is a detail that is simulated during action sentence comprehension, and that motoric activations are flexible and affected by the pronominal perspective used in the sentence.
