根据具体化理论(包括具体化理论,嵌入式,扩展,颁布,位于,和扎根的认知方法),语言表征与我们与周围世界的互动有着内在的联系,这反映在语言处理和学习过程中特定的大脑特征。从最初的内化与Amodal理论,这份共识文件解决了一系列精心挑选的问题,这些问题旨在确定何时以及如何而不是运动和感知过程是否参与语言过程。我们涵盖广泛的研究领域,从体现语义的神经生理特征来看,例如,事件相关的势和场以及神经振荡,语义加工和语义启动对具体和抽象词的影响,第一和第二语言学习,最后,使用虚拟现实来检查体现的语义。我们的共同目标是通过语言理解和学习来更好地理解运动和感知过程在语言表示中的作用。我们达成共识,基于在该领域进行的开创性研究,未来的方向现在要求通过承认多模态来提高研究结果的外部有效性,多维性,体现和定位语言和语义过程的灵活性和特质。
According to embodied theories (including embodied, embedded, extended, enacted, situated, and grounded approaches to cognition), language representation is intrinsically linked to our interactions with the world around us, which is reflected in specific brain signatures during language processing and learning. Moving on from the original rivalry of embodied vs. amodal theories, this
consensus paper addresses a series of carefully selected questions that aim at determining when and how rather than whether motor and perceptual processes are involved in language processes. We cover a wide range of research areas, from the neurophysiological signatures of embodied semantics, e.g., event-related potentials and fields as well as neural oscillations, to semantic processing and semantic priming effects on concrete and abstract words, to first and second language learning and, finally, the use of virtual reality for examining embodied semantics. Our common aim is to better understand the role of motor and perceptual processes in language representation as indexed by language comprehension and learning. We come to the
consensus that, based on seminal research conducted in the field, future directions now call for enhancing the external validity of findings by acknowledging the multimodality, multidimensionality, flexibility and idiosyncrasy of embodied and situated language and semantic processes.
