【 摘 要 】

Currently, a growing body of studies demonstrates memory-perception interactions (see Barsalou, 2008; Heurley et al., 2012; Lobel, 2014, for reviews). Even if such interactions are highly relevant to support embodied approaches of cognition as well as to better understand memory and perception (e.g., Zwaan, 2008; Versace et al., 2009; Landau et al., 2010; Kiefer and Barsalou, 2013), their functional role remains unclear: Why would perception integrate memory and knowledge while it seems highly efficient without such influences? To understand the functional relevance of these interactions, we assume that it is necessary to take into account two important conditions in which our cognitive systems have evolved during the phylogenesis and continue to evolve during our ontogenesis. More precisely, we develop a view where memory-perception interactions are highly relevant to plan and control actions when we interact with well-known objects in non-optimal perceptual conditions.
