The role of embodiment in the perception of the duration of emotional stimuli was investigated with a temporal bisection task. Previous research has shown that individuals overestimate the duration of emotional, compared with neutral, faces (S. Droit-Volet, S. Brunot, & P. M. Niedenthal, 2004). The authors tested a role for embodiment in this effect. Participants estimated the duration of angry, happy, and neutral faces by comparing them to 2 durations learned during a training phase. Experimental participants held a pen in their mouths so as to inhibit imitation of the faces, whereas control participants could imitate freely. Results revealed that participants overestimated the duration of emotional faces relative to the neutral faces only when imitation was possible. Implications for the role of embodiment in emotional perception are discussed.
通过一个时间二分任务，研究了具身认知在情绪刺激持续时间感知中的作用。先前的研究表明，与中性面孔相比，个体高估了情绪面孔的持续时间（S. 德罗伊 - 沃莱特、S. 布鲁诺和P. M. 尼登塔尔，2004年）。作者测试了具身认知在这种效应中的作用。参与者通过将愤怒、快乐和中性面孔与在训练阶段学到的两个持续时间进行比较，来估计这些面孔的持续时间。实验参与者将一支笔含在嘴里，以抑制对面孔的模仿，而对照组参与者可以自由模仿。结果显示，只有在可以模仿的情况下，参与者相对于中性面孔高估了情绪面孔的持续时间。讨论了具身认知在情绪感知中的作用的相关影响。
