Влияние сенсомоторных стереотипов на понимание пространственных конструкций: данные движений глаз
In an eye-tracking study we tested the hypothesis that comprehension is facilitated by a match between the order of the verb and its arguments in a sentence and the order of the actual sensorimotor interaction with these objects (for example, in the phrase put the bag into the box, the order of the arguments cor- responds to the order of motor actions: take the bag, put it into the box) could facilitate comprehension of such constructions. We tested 40 native Russian speakers in a visual world sentence-picture match- ing task. In prepositional constructions, there was no difference between conditions that matched or mis- matched sensorimotor stereotypes, whereas in instrumental constructions, sensorimotor stereotypes facil- itated comprehension.
