    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "“Upfixes” are graphic representations originating in the visual\nvocabulary used in comics where objects float above a\ncharacter’s head, such as lightbulbs to mean inspiration. We\nposited that these graphic signs use an abstract schema stored\nin memory. This schema constrains upfixes to their position\nabove the head and requires them to “agree” with the\nexpression of their associated face. We asked participants to\nrate and interpret upfix-face pairs where the upfix was either\nabove the head or beside the head, and/or agreed or disagreed\nwith the face. Our stimuli also contrasted conventional and\nnovel upfixes. Overall, both position and agreement impacted\nthe rating and interpretations of both conventional and\nunconventional upfixes, and such understanding is modulated\nby experience reading comics. These findings support that\nthese graphic signs extend beyond memorized individual\nitems, and use a learned abstract schema stored in long-term\nmemory, governed by particular constraints",
