{"pk":25533,"title":"New space-time metaphors foster new mental representations of time","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Can learning new linguistic metaphors foster new nonlinguistic\nrepresentations? We describe a set of studies in\nwhich we trained English-speaking participants to talk\nabout time using vertical spatial metaphors that are novel to\nEnglish. One group learned a mapping that placed earlier\nevents above and the other a mapping that placed earlier\nevents below. After mastering the new metaphors,\nparticipants were tested in a non-linguistic space-time\nimplicit association task – the Orly task. This task has been\nused previously to document cross-linguistic differences in\nrepresentations of time (Boroditsky et. al 2010; Fuhrman et\nal 2011). Some participants completed temporal judgments\nin the Orly task without any other secondary task, while\nothers did so under either verbal or visual interference.\nFinally, we report data from a serendipitous sample of\nChinese-English bilinguals on the same task.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"metaphor; space; time; learning; language"}],"section":"Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/68j0b15c","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Rose","middle_name":"K","last_name":"Hendricks","name_suffix":"","institution":"UCSD","department":""},{"first_name":"Lera","middle_name":"","last_name":"Boroditsky","name_suffix":"","institution":"UCSD","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2015-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/25533/galley/15157/download/"}]}
