具身认知视域下动作操作对语篇记忆的影响

On the Effect of Action Manipulation on Discourse Memory from the Perspective of Embodied Cognition

具身认知理论从感知和运动等角度出发,强调了认知过程中大脑、身体和环境的一体化。在生成认知理论、动力系统理论、感觉运动理论和感觉运动模拟隐喻理论的支持下,研究表明身体动作经验对单词、句子等理解和记忆有积极作用。本综述旨在探讨具身效应是否在阅读材料性质上的差异,研究采用“对回忆的再认”研究范式,通过比较离身认知、身体操作、想象操作三种认知编码方式对形象类、抽象类语篇阅读材料再认、记忆保持效果的影响。研究发现,身体操作和想象操作编码方式的作用在两类材料上具有一致性,再认正确率都比离身操作编码方式好。身体操作编码方式阅读两类材料语篇的记忆保持正确率最高。研究可以为提高语篇阅读再认水平和记忆保持效果提供新的方法参考。

Embodied cognition theory,based on perception and movement,attaches great importance to the integration of brain,body and environment in the cognitive process.Guided by the generative cognition theory,dynamical system theory,sensorimotor theory and sensorimotor simulation metaphor theory,the current research reveals that the body movement experience has a positive effect on the comprehension and memory of words and sentences.This study adopts the researching paradigm of"recognition of memories",and compares the effects of disembodied cognition,physical manipulation and imaginary manipulation on the recognition and memory retention of figurative and abstract text materials,with the purpose of finding out whether the embodied effect may vary according to the nature of reading materials.The result shows that the effects of physical and imaginative coding modes are consistent across the two types of materials,with a recognition accuracy better than that of disembodied coding modes,and the bodily manipulation encoding modality may bring us the highest rate of correct memory retention for the reading discourses of both the two types.Therefore,this study can provide new methodological reference for improving the level of discourse reading recognition and memory retention.
