    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "To investigate the real time processing of metaphoric\nadjectives, we measured participants looking behavior as they\nlistened to sentences such as The little boy was shocked as a\nresult of the [electrical socket/report card] in the context of a\ndisplay with four images. Displays included two Unrelated\npictures, a Literal picture consistent with the literal\ninterpretation of the adjective (an electrical socket), and a\nMetaphor picture consistent with the metaphorical\ninterpretation (a report card). Sentences were divided into\nthose with a preferred literal versus metaphorical reading of\nthe adjective based on a norming study involving sentence\nfragments without the disambiguating information. Although\nconducted with different participants, those preferences were\npredictive of looking behavior during the eye tracking study.\nDuring the 1s interval before the onset of the disambiguating\nword, participants were more likely to fixate the image\nconsistent with the preferred interpretation of the adjective\nthan the unrelated pictures. That is, they were more likely to\nfixate the Literal picture in Literal biased sentences, and the\nMetaphor picture in Metaphor biased sentences. After the\ndisambiguating information, participants showed an increased\nprobability to fixate the actual target item, regardless of the\npreferred reading of the adjective. Results argue against\nmodels of metaphor comprehension that posit parallel\nactivation of literal and metaphoric meaning.",
