while much is known about the processes underlying the embodiment of non-corporeal objects, less research has been conducted to explore the mechanisms that prevent embodiment. The current study investigates the effect of violation of the human body template on embodiment of fake limbs by appearing to encroach the fake limb with a solid object. Encroachment of the limb disrupted embodiment, but only when the limb was far from the body. When the encroached limb was close to the body, it was not disembodied despite such clear violations of knowledge related to the body. The representation of the limb in the body schema was similarly robust to near-hand violations, suggesting that competing representations of the limb that are close to the body are preferred to those that are far from the body.
虽然人们对非物质物体体现的背后过程了解很多，但对于防止体现的机制的研究却很少。本研究通过用实体物体似乎侵犯假肢体来调查违反人体模板对假肢体体现的影响。侵犯肢体扰乱了体现，但只有当肢体远离身体时才会发生。当被侵犯的肢体靠近身体时，尽管有明显违反与身体相关的知识的情况，它也不会被脱离身体。身体图式中肢体的表示同样不受近手侵犯的影响，这表明靠近身体的肢体的竞争表示比远离身体的肢体的竞争表示更受欢迎。
