We test the hypothesis that naming an object depicted in a picture and reading aloud an object's name are affected by the object's speed. We contend that the mental representations of everyday objects and situations include their speed, and that the latter influences behavior in instantaneous and systematic ways. An important corollary is that high-speed objects are named faster than low-speed objects, although object speed is irrelevant to the naming task at hand. The results of a series of 7 studies with pictures and words support these predictions.
我们检验了一个假设，即命名图片中描绘的物体和大声朗读物体的名称会受到物体速度的影响。我们认为，日常物体和情境的心理表征包括它们的速度，并且后者以即时和系统的方式影响行为。一个重要的推论是，高速物体的命名速度比低速物体快，尽管物体速度与手头的命名任务无关。一系列涉及图片和单词的 7 项研究的结果支持了这些预测。
