摘要: Neuroimaging and behavioral studies have revealed involvement of the brain's motor system in language comprehension. The Linguistic-Focus Hypothesis [Taylor, L. J., & Zwaan, R. A. (2008). Motor resonance linguistic focus. Quarterly Journal Experimental Psychology, 61, 869-904.] postulates that engagement during comprehension is controlled by focus message. Two experiments were conducted to further test this hypothesis. They examined whether resonance, which has previously been found occur on descriptions actions occurring present, extends (1) potentially future (action intentions) (2) having occurred past. An additional goal was examine if occurs a narrative context. Using reading-by-rotation paradigm [Zwaan, A., Taylor, J. (2006). Seeing, acting, understanding: Psychology: General, 135, 1-11.], Experiment 1 evidence for current action embedded narrative, but not intentions. 2 both past actions. These results partly support lead hypotheses about modulation activation
