Abstract

There are decades of evidence based on the fundamental language logic, showing that people create situation models when they understand text, which will be presented in more detail in the second part of this paper. However, after half a century of discussion among psychologists, it remains unclear whether these situation models are implemented in modality-specific simulations. To be able to sort out more clearly the clues whether the situation models are embodied or disembodied, in this work, we briefly review behavioural evidence for situated text understanding, and then evaluate the available evidence that bears on the question of whether situation models are “embodied” or “disembodied”. We try to suggest further ways, such as using PET and fMRI technology, in which this question might be investigated effectively in the end of this paper.
