Noun-verb phrases are more efficiently remembered when they are enacted during learning than when they are only verbally studied, a phenomenon known as the . While studies have debated whether motor information is key to this effect, our study explores whether the organization of motor information can support the enactment effect. We used the retrieval-practice paradigm to induce retrieval-induced forgetting (RIF). In Experiment 1, we found an RIF effect of categorization into physical motor properties (e.g., rotation-motor category), which was significantly stronger during enactment learning. In Experiment 2, we also found an RIF effect of categorization into physical motor properties with additional imagery features (e.g., the hand-physical and round-object category), but there was no significant difference between enactment learning and verbal learning. These findings suggest that motor information is fundamental to the enactment effect, but it is not primarily assimilated, even in the presence of various types of information, in the processing of action memory. We discuss these findings in the context of multimodal theory and episodic integration theory.
名词-动词短语在学习时通过动作表现出来比仅通过口头学习能更有效地被记住，这一现象被称为动作效应。虽然研究对运动信息是否是该效应的关键存在争议，但我们的研究探讨了运动信息的组织是否可以支持动作效应。我们使用提取练习范式来诱导提取诱发遗忘（RIF）。在实验 1 中，我们发现了对物理运动属性进行分类（例如，旋转-运动类别）的 RIF 效应，在动作学习时该效应显著增强。在实验 2 中，我们还发现了对具有附加意象特征的物理运动属性进行分类的 RIF 效应（例如，手-物理和圆形物体类别），但在动作学习和口头学习之间没有显著差异。这些发现表明，运动信息是动作效应的基础，但即使在存在各种类型的信息的情况下，运动信息也不会主要被同化，即使在存在各种类型的信息的情况下，在动作记忆的处理中也是如此。我们在多模态理论和情景整合理论的背景下讨论了这些发现。
