The purpose of this study was to examine effects of bodily movement and verbal information on memory representation of an action. Whether the subject actually performed the action (SPTs) or he/she saw the experimenter do (EPTs) was bodily movement factor. Whether a verbal description of the sequence was given or not was verbal information factor. The two factors formed four groups in Experiment 1, and 56 subjects participated, using two kinds of memory material as a third factor: instruments and bodily movement. Supplemental analyses were the purpose of Experiment 2, in which 112 subjects in eight groups participated, examining verbal or motor recall and recognition. Results of the two experiments suggested that bodily movement facilitated integration of verbal and motor-action components when verbal information was also present. In addition, it was suggested that bodily movement helped form 'motor imagery' as memory representation, which was utilized at generation stage of memory retrieval and verifying stage of motor recognition. With these results, the relationship between processing of verbal component and that of motor-action component was discussed.
本研究的目的是考察身体运动和言语信息对动作记忆表征的影响。被试是实际执行动作（自我执行任务，SPTs）还是观看实验者执行动作（他人执行任务，EPTs）是身体运动因素。是否给出动作序列的言语描述是言语信息因素。在实验1中，这两个因素形成了四组，56名被试参与，使用两种记忆材料作为第三个因素：工具和身体运动。实验2的目的是进行补充分析，有112名被试参与了八组实验，考察言语或动作回忆与识别。两个实验的结果表明，当言语信息也存在时，身体运动促进了言语和动作成分的整合。此外，研究表明身体运动有助于形成作为记忆表征的“运动意象”，其在记忆检索的生成阶段和动作识别的验证阶段被利用。基于这些结果，讨论了言语成分加工与动作成分加工之间的关系。
