“…In addition, the processing of generation is consistent with embodied cognition theory. According to the embodied cognition theory, abstract concepts are stored as physical experiences and extracted as embodied simulations (Barsalou, 1999(Barsalou, , 2008(Barsalou, , 2016Ye, 2010Ye, , 2011Ye, , 2013Ye, , 2014Yin et al, 2012;Zhang et al, 2013). In the specific life situation, there is a coexisting empirical relationship between the generation and the spatial position of up-down, left-right, and front-back.…”

“…In contrast, a concrete concept refers to a concept that reflects concrete things, such as spatial orientation, length, size, and brightness. Embodied cognition theory holds that concepts are acquired through the sensorimotor activities of the body, and different sensorimotor activities leave different sensorimotor imprints in the brain (i.e., experience); human sensorimotor experience is the basis for the formation and development of concrete and abstract concepts (Barsalou, 1999(Barsalou, , 2008(Barsalou, , 2016Lakoff and Johnson, 1999;Gallese and Lakoff, 2005;Pecher and Zwaan, 2005;Ye, 2010Ye, , 2011. There is extensive evidence that a concrete concept is the subject's conceptual representation of concrete things through direct sensorimotor experience (Barsalou, 2008).…”

concepts can be represented in the brain by means of metaphors. Generation refers to seniority in the family or clan, implies the implementation of different attitudes required by kinship, and contains profound psychological, emotional, and social factors. Generation as an abstract concept is related to concepts such as power, social status, importance, and time. The conceptual metaphor theory based on the embodied theory proposes that abstract concepts are represented by actual sensorimotor experiences. Generation implied in Han kin terms is often represented by multiple spatial terms. According to conceptual metaphor theory, the current study predicted that generation could be represented by multiple spatial metaphors. We designed six experiments to investigate this issue. The results showed that (1) the up–down and left–right positions in which kinship words were presented affected the processing of the concept of generation; (2) the processing of kinship words also affected up–down and left–right spatial information perception; and (3) the processing of the concept of generation could also automatically activate the front–back spatial operation and induce the embodied simulation of body movement. In sum, the results suggested that generation might be represented by the three-dimensional spatial metaphor of vertical, horizontal, and sagittal axes, which are influenced by the sensorimotor system.

A comparative study on the effect of soundscape and landscape on tourism experience

This paper explores how soundscape and landscape influences tourism experience by the cases of Leshan Giant Buddha and Mount Emei, China. Results show that there is a mutually positive relationship between soundscape perception and landscape perception; soundscape perception indirectly affect tourism experience through “the congruence between soundscape and landscape”; and only landscape can directly affect shallow experience. This study also brings implications for tourism research and practice: soundscape should be given more attention as it can significantly affect the tourism experience, and relevant industrial sectors can improve tourism experiences through the design or control of soundscape.

“…Theoretical psychology introduces this theory to psychology, stimulating a wave of embodied cognition research. Embodied cognition has now become a popular topic in experimental psychology (Ye, 2011). At the same time, psychological theory can spread to its neighboring disciplines.…”

This article first describes the three periods of the recent past in Chinese theoretical psychology: (a) the period that introduced Western theoretical psychology and the establishment of Chinese theoretical psychology , (b) the period that introduced Soviet Russian psychology and the popularity of Marxist psychology , and (c) the period that reintroduced Western theoretical psychology and the birth of its Chinese counterpart (1977-present). Then, we discuss the trapped condition of contemporary Chinese theoretical psychology, such as the need for originality, the change in the Chinese academic environment, and the lack of proper self-positioning. To solve these problems in China, the following suggestions are proposed: (a) advancement of meta-theoretical research, (b) support for experimental psychological studies, (c) bridging of psychology and its neighboring disciplines, (d) bridging the gap between psychology and the public, and (e) bridging domestic and foreign cultural psychology.
