One of the most influential ideas within the domain of cognition is that of embodied cognition, in which the experienced world is the result of an interplay between an organism’s physiology, sensorimotor system, and its environment. An aspect of this idea is that linguistic information activates sensory representations automatically. For example, hearing the word ‘red’ would automatically activate sensory representations of this color. But does linguistic information prioritize access to awareness of congruent visual information? Here, we show that linguistic verbal cues accelerate matching visual targets into awareness by using a breaking continuous flash suppression paradigm. In a speeded reaction time task, observers heard spoken color labels (e.g., red) followed by colored targets that were either congruent (red), incongruent (green), or neutral (a neutral noncolor word) with respect to the labels. Importantly, and in contrast to previous studies investigating a similar question, the incidence of congruent trials was not higher than that of incongruent trials. Our results show that RTs were selectively shortened for congruent verbal–visual pairings, and that this shortening occurred over a wide range of cue–target intervals. We suggest that linguistic verbal information preactivates sensory representations, so that hearing the word ‘red’ preactivates (visual) sensory information internally.

不可预测的语言线索以突破性的连续闪光抑制范式加速一致的视觉目标进入意识

认知领域中最有影响力的思想之一是具身认知,其中所经历的世界是有机体的生理学、感觉运动系统及其环境之间相互作用的结果。这个想法的一个方面是语言信息自动激活感官表征。例如,听到“红色”这个词会自动激活这种颜色的感官表征。但是语言信息是否优先考虑一致视觉信息的意识?在这里,我们表明,通过使用突破性的连续闪光抑制范例,语言言语线索可以加速将视觉目标匹配到意识中。在快速反应时间任务中,观察者听到口头颜色标签(例如红色),然后听到与标签一致(红色)、不一致(绿色)或中性(中性非颜色词)的彩色目标。重要的是,与之前调查类似问题的研究相比,一致试验的发生率并不高于不一致试验的发生率。我们的结果表明,对于一致的言语-视觉配对,RT 被选择性地缩短,并且这种缩短发生在大范围的提示-目标间隔内。我们认为语言信息会预先激活感官表征,因此听到“红色”这个词会预先激活内部的(视觉)感官信息。
