Abstract

The relevant theories of psychology have made great progress since the 1980s, among which the emergence and development of embodied cognition theory have played a crucial role in the transformation of the psychological research paradigm. The theory of embodied cognition emerged from the critical reflection of the original mind-body dualism. Through the continuous exploration and research of the theory by scholars at home and abroad, its outline is becoming clearer, and the relevant theories and evidence are constantly emerging. The core of the embodied cognitive theory, which opposes the traditional cognitive psychology of mind-matter duality, is to integrate mind and body and the environment with them into the cognitive process system and to emphasize the interaction between the three. The related effects in embodied cognition are reflected in the processing of human memory. The research on embodied effects in memory performance plays a vital role in consolidating and developing the construction of embodied cognition theory. More and more studies have shown that the process of memory is embodied, and its encoding and retrieval processes are embodied. It is a process of encoding and simulating events and their associated environments, which bases on the perception of the body. This paper summarized the progress of the research on embodied effects in memory performance, analyzed the related mechanisms of embodied effects in memory performance, and make suggestions for future research paths.
