More than 50 years after the appearance of the motor theory of speech perception, it is timely to evaluate its three main claims that (1) speech processing is special, (2) perceiving speech is perceiving gestures, and (3) the motor system is recruited for perceiving speech. We argue that to the extent that it can be evaluated, the first claim is likely false. As for the second claim, we review findings that support it and argue that although each of these findings may be explained by alternative accounts, the claim provides a single coherent account. As for the third claim, we review findings in the literature that support it at different levels of generality and argue that the claim anticipated a theme that has become widespread in cognitive science.
在言语知觉运动理论出现50多年后，是时候评估其三个主要主张了：（1）言语加工是特殊的；（2）感知言语就是感知手势；（3）感知言语时会调用运动系统。我们认为，就其可评估的程度而言，第一个主张可能是错误的。至于第二个主张，我们回顾了支持它的研究结果，并认为尽管这些研究结果中的每一个都可能有其他解释，但该主张提供了一个连贯统一的解释。至于第三个主张，我们回顾了文献中在不同普遍性水平上支持它的研究结果，并认为该主张预见了一个在认知科学中已广泛传播的主题。
