Evidence increasingly suggests that simulations implement patterns of prior experience to construct one's current experience, whether that experience is oriented in the past, in the here and now, or in the future. Simulation is the mechanism by which the brain capitalizes on prior learning to efficiently navigate the situation at hand. This review examines the latest developments in theory and empirical research that address simulation during emotional phenomena. Integration of evidence across multiple literatures suggests that simulation accounts provide a unifying framework across many different emotional phenomena and highlights the importance of investigating dynamics, complexity, and variation in emotional experiences moving forward.
越来越多的证据表明，模拟是通过利用先前的经验来构建当前的经验，无论这种经验是面向过去、现在还是未来。模拟是大脑利用先前的学习来有效地应对当前情况的机制。本综述考察了最新的理论和实证研究进展，这些研究涉及情绪现象中的模拟。来自多个文献的证据的整合表明，模拟解释为许多不同的情绪现象提供了一个统一的框架，并强调了未来研究情绪体验的动态、复杂性和变化的重要性。
