情境模型概念出现后,有关情境模型研究重点解决以下两大问题:其一,情境模型不是课文基础表征;其二,情境模型具有多维结构。前者表现为情境模型与课文基础表征的分离研究,后者表现为情境模型从单维向多维的整合研究。在此基础上,研究者进一步统合情境模型研究,初步考察情境模型的实质问题。基于情境模型研究的分离与整合的趋势,情境模型的未来研究将进一步发展研究范式,深入探讨"情境模型是什么"与"情境模型的加工机制是怎么样"等问题。
The studies on situation models in language comprehension and memory has been towards two issues, one was the separation of situation models and textbase, the other was the integration of multi-dimension of situation models. Recently, researchers investigated further the essential of situation models based on the existing results. In the possible future research of situation models, significant progress would be made in the scientific understanding of what were situation models and how situation models were processed with the development of paradigms.
