In recent years, the relationship between the emotions and the cognitive science has gradually become the hot spot in the cognitive science. Many psychologists attempt to explain the simulation point of view of emotions in reading comprehension. Reading Comprehension of emotional and mental simulation would have a real emotional behavior similar tendency, When reading a directional movement in the case simulation, emotional behavior of analog bias and the tendency of mutual action simulation affected?The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the reading comprehension of the mental simulation of emotional understanding and the movements. The Experiment 1 used a certain mood of the two-word color term for the experimental material, in the case of hiding control of facial expression, the term test for the judge to do the concrete.the Subjects were tested whether to be emotional or not in the vocabulary level of simulation. The results show thatThe time of determining the emotional words is more than the neutral words, we explain the level of reading comprehension in terms of the emotions arising from simulation and the Processing of emotional words need to load additional emotional processing.Based on Experiment 1,Experiment 2 explores if emotional simulation would arouse specific behavioral tendency further.The experimental results show that away from the reaction of the experimentee's judgments on negative emotional color words are faster than those on positive emotional color words and there is no difference between the two in another response direction. This can partly explain the directional behavior of emotional simulation.While away from the emotional stimulus, individual's emotion is more powerful.Based on Experiment1, Experiment 2 explores if emotional simulation would arouse specific behavioral tendency further. The experimental results show that away from the reaction of the experimentee's judgments on negative emotional color words are faster than those on positive emotional color words and there is no difference between the two in another response direction. This can partly explain the directional behavior of emotional simulation. While away from the emotional stimulus, individual's emotion is more powerful.Based on Experiment 2,Experiment 3 explores the relationship between behavioral tendency and Action Simulation in sentence reading. The results show that when the reaction is far away from the body the verbs away from the body response faster than those closer to the body. The interaction that we concern between the direction of the verbs and the emotional tendencies is not significant. The possible explanation is the lag of behavioral tendency of emotional simulation.The three experimental results show that there is emotional simulation in the level of vocabulary reading.And the simulation can occur a particular behavior tendency. But in the sentence reanding, the tendency has no effect to the understanding of behavior.
