根据空间配准假设，刺激位置的表征在感知过程中会自动编码，并且可以与更抽象的语言表征相互作用。我们在两个实验中测试了这一假设，使用单词的语义判断。在第一个实验中，飞行或不飞行的动物的单词被呈现在相对于注视点的显示器的上部或下部。空间位置和词的类型之间存在显著的交互作用。飞行动物的单词在显示屏的上半部分出现时，被判断得更快，而非飞行动物的单词在显示屏的下半部分出现时被处理得更快。在第二个实验中，我们将刺激集扩展到表示与上或下空间位置相关的非生物的单词。同样，反应时间显示出显着的相互作用之间的实际空间位置的话，他们的隐式关联与上或下的空间位置。实验结果支持了空间表征在词汇加工中起积极作用的观点。
According to the spatial registration hypothesis, the representation of stimulus location is automatically encoded during perception and it can interact with a more abstract linguistic representation. We tested this hypothesis in two experiments, using the semantic judgements of words. In the first experiment, words for animals that either fly or do not fly were presented either in the upper or lower part of a display relative to the fixation point. Reaction times showed significant interaction between the spatial position and the word type. The words for flying animals were judged faster when they were presented in the upper part while the words for non-flying animals were processed faster in the lower part of the display. In the second experiment we extended the stimulus set to words denoting non-living things which are associated with either upper or lower spatial position. Again, reaction times showed significant interaction between the actual spatial position where the words were presented, and their implicit association with upper or lower spatial position. The results provide support for the claim that spatial representation has an active role in lexical processing.
