In two experiments we show that the experience of processing fluency can be grounded in the motor system. We manipulated whether responses in a stimulus-response paradigm were congruent or incongruent with the orientation of graspable objects. Besides the typical affordance effect (Tucker & Ellis, 1998), namely a reaction time advantage for responses made with the hand for which it would be easier to grasp the object, our results reveal that such a visuo-motor congruence elicits positive affect when preceded by incongruent trials (Experiment 1). Experiment 2 demonstrates that individuals are aware of this fluency experience and can consciously report on it. Moreover, by manipulating the task contingencies, we show that the affordance effect itself can be modulated by the experience of processing fluency. Our results are in line with theories assuming a direct coupling between perception and action (Hommel, Müsseler, Aschersleben, & Prinz, 2001; Prinz, 1997; Smith & Semin, 2004).
在两项实验中，我们表明流畅加工体验可以基于运动系统。我们操控了刺激-反应范式中的反应与可抓握物体的方向是一致还是不一致。除了典型的可供性效应（塔克和埃利斯，1998），即使用更容易抓握物体的那只手做出反应时的反应时优势外，我们的结果还表明，当在不一致试验之后出现这种视觉-运动一致性时，会引发积极情绪（实验1）。实验2表明个体能够意识到这种流畅体验并能有意识地进行报告。此外，通过操控任务的意外情况，我们表明可供性效应本身可以受到流畅加工体验的调节。我们的结果与假设感知和行动之间存在直接耦合的理论一致（霍梅尔、米塞勒、阿舍斯莱本和普林茨，2001；普林茨，1997；史密斯和塞米恩，2004）。
