摘要

根据概念隐喻理论,个体通过更具体的经验,如感觉运动系统来表征抽象概念,如时间。例如,在心理模型中,左右空间方向可以投射到过去和未来的时间概念上,这与不同文化的各种书写系统是一致的。尽管有证据表明,手动和视觉体验可以影响横向精神时间线,但被动全身运动是否能产生类似的效果尚不清楚。在本研究中,我们在中国视力正常和失明的参与者中探讨了这种假设效应。当参与者在运动平台上左右移动时,他们会对与过去和未来事件相对应的言语刺激做出反应。结果表明,与向左运动相比,向右运动时与将来相关的词的分类速度更快。然而,对过去相关刺激的分类没有观察到类似的效果。这种部分隐喻一致性效应不能用语言习惯来解释,因为普通话中没有明确的时间横向隐喻。因此,一个更合理的解释与未来事件表征的延展性有关,与过去事件表征相比,未来事件表征更容易被运动经验塑造。总之,这些发现强调了身体运动在影响时间思维方面的重要作用。

Moving through time: The influence of body motion on temporal concepts of future in Chinese sighted and blind people.

According to Conceptual Metaphor Theory, individuals represent abstract concepts, such as time, through more concrete experiences, such as the sensorimotor system. For example, left and right spatial orientations can be projected onto temporal concepts of past and future in mental models, which is consistent with various writing systems across cultures. Although evidence indicates that manual and visual experiences can influence lateral mental timelines, it remains unclear whether passive whole-body motion can exert similar effects. In this study, we explored this hypothesized effect among Chinese sighted and blind participants. Participants responded to verbal stimuli corresponding to past and future events while being displaced leftward and rightward on a motion platform. The results demonstrated an expedited categorization of future-related words during rightward motion compared to leftward motion. However, no analogous effects were observed for the categorization of past-related stimuli. This partial metaphor-congruency effect cannot be explained by linguistic conventions, as there are no explicit lateral metaphors for time in Mandarin Chinese. Therefore, a more plausible explanation relates to the malleability of future event representations, which can be more easily shaped by motion experiences compared to past event representations. Together, these findings highlight the significant role of bodily movements in influencing temporal thought.

期刊介绍: Consciousness and Cognition: An International Journal provides a forum for a natural-science approach to the issues of consciousness, voluntary control, and self. The journal features empirical research (in the form of regular articles and short reports) and theoretical articles. Integrative theoretical and critical literature reviews, and tutorial reviews are also published. The journal aims to be both scientifically rigorous and open to novel contributions.
