The Experiential-Simulation View of Comprehension: How is Sentence Meaning composed? (B04)

我们关注的是“经验模拟理解观”。我们之前的研究表明，反映理解者经历的非语言记忆痕迹在文字处理过程中被自动激活，并且理解者建立了超越单词水平的模拟。没有明确的证据表明模拟在功能上与理解有关。在第三阶段，我们将继续研究句子级别的模拟过程，特别关注关于增量的问题。我们还将研究模拟的功能相关性，以处理需要大量合成过程的表达式，以及儿童的语言处理。

We focus on the ‘experiential simulations view of comprehension’. Our previous research showed that non-linguistic memory traces reflecting the comprehender’s experiences are automatically activated during word processing, and that comprehenders build simulations beyond the word level. No definite evidence was found for the assumption that simulations are functionally relevant for comprehension. In Phase III, we will continue investigating simulation processes at the sentence level, focusing par-ticularly on the question regarding incrementality. We will also investigate the functional relevance of simulations for the processing of expressions requiring substantial composition processes, as well as for children’s language processing.
