项目摘要

Embodied cognition accounts submit that cognitive representations such as representations of time and space and movements mutually modulate each other. Yet, two conflicting theories provide alternative explanations as to how this modulation is effectuated. According to the asymmetry hypothesis movements influence spatial representations, which then influence temporal representations. Therefore, with respect to time-space mappings, the asymmetry hypothesis predicts that spatial representations have a larger impact on temporal representations than temporal representations on spatial representations. In contrast, A Theory of Magnitude (ATOM) advocates that time and space are processed by a shared magnitude system that develops through movement. Consequently, with respect to time-space mappings, the ATOM hypothesis proposes that temporal and spatial representations impact each other equally. While both theoretical approaches have received empirical support, closer inspection reveals that this may – in part – be due to the relative contribution of different modalities to finding task-appropriate solutions. It is well known that the processing of time and space is differently sensitive within the different modalities. For instance, auditory information processing is more sensitive to temporal than spatial information, whereas visual information processing is more sensitive to spatial than temporal information. It follows that a proper test of either hypothesis needs to control for relative contributions of different modalities for task-appropriate solutions. To this end, the aim of the proposed research project is to systematically manipulate the relative informational value of different modalities for tasks that require accurate temporal and spatial representations (i.e. catching a ball). The unique contribution of this research project is a critical test of the asymmetry hypothesis against ATOM from an embodied cognition perspective, thereby fundamentally increasing our understanding how interactions between movements and space-time mappings are modulated by modality-specific processing.

体现的认知帐户提出，认知表示，例如时间和空间的表示形式，以及相互调制。然而，两种相互矛盾的理论提供了有关该调制如何有效的替代解释。根据不对称假设的运动影响空间表示，这会影响临时表示。因此，关于时间间隔映射，不对称假设预测，空间表示对临时表示的影响要比空间表示的临时表示更大。相比之下，一个数量级（原子）提倡的是，时间和空间是通过通过运动发展的共同幅度系统处理的。因此，关于时间空间映射，临时和空间表示的原子假设提案相互平等影响。尽管两种理论方法都获得了经验支持，但仔细检查表明，这可能部分是由于不同方式对找到任务解决方案的相对贡献。众所周知，时间和空间的处理在不同的方式中对敏感性不同。例如，听觉信息处理比空间信息更敏感，而视觉信息处理比时间信息更敏感。因此，对任何一个假设的适当检验都需要控制不同模式的相对贡献，以解决适合任务的解决方案。为此，拟议的研究项目的目的是系统地操纵需要准确的临时和空间表示（即接球）的任务的不同模式的相对信息价值。该研究项目的独特贡献是从体现认知的角度对原子的不对称假设进行的批判性检验，从而从根本上增加了我们的理解，我们的理解是如何通过特定于模式的处理来调节运动与时空映射之间的相互作用。
