Experiential theories of language comprehension claim that comprehension is based on modal representations, which are grounded in perception and action. A large body of research has demonstrated that there is a close relationship between language comprehension and modal representations. However, the exact nature of these representations is not clear. Also, there is little evidence for the claim that modal representations are indeed essential to achieve an adequate understanding of linguistic expressions. The proposed research, which extends research funded by an ongoing fellowship, investigates these questions with six experiments. Based on a newly developed category-learning paradigm, three experiments compare the validity of schema-theoretic and exemplar views as representational models for experiential theories of language comprehension. Three further experiments use a dual-task paradigm to test whether the activation of color representations is an essential component of the comprehension of sentences involving colordiagnostic objects.

语言理解的经验理论认为，理解是基于模态表征的，模态表征以感知和动作为基础。大量的研究表明，语言理解与情态表征之间存在着密切的关系。然而，这些表述的确切性质尚不清楚。此外，几乎没有证据表明模态表征对于充分理解语言表达确实至关重要。拟议的研究扩展了由正在进行的研究金资助的研究，通过六个实验调查了这些问题。基于一个新发展的范畴学习范式，三个实验比较了图式理论和样例观点作为语言理解经验理论表征模型的有效性。三个进一步的实验使用双任务范式，以测试是否激活的颜色表征是一个重要组成部分的理解句子涉及colordiagnostic对象。
