摘要
Situation models are mental representations of the state of affairs described in a text rather than of the text itself. Much of the research on situation models in narrative comprehension suggests that comprehenders behave as though they are in the narrated situation rather :than outside of it. This article reviews some of this evidence and provides an outlook on future developments.
