{"pk":27062,"title":"The Effects of Duration Words and Spatial-Temporal Metaphors\non Perceived Duration","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Subjective duration estimates are positively related to the\nmagnitude of various non-temporal stimuli (e.g. Xuan et al.,\n2007). Our study investigated whether temporal and spatial\nmagnitude information conveyed by linguistic stimuli would\naffect perceived duration in a temporal reproduction task. We\nused time-related words referring to different exact durations\n(e.g. second; Experiment 1), and spatial-temporal metaphors\n(e.g. long), referring to indistinct temporal as well as spatial\nmagnitudes (Experiment 2). In both experiments, participants\nover-reproduced the shorter target duration (2.4 s) and under-\nreproduced the longer target duration (4.8 s). In Experiment\n1, participants under-reproduced the longer target duration\nmore when they saw “week” in the training and “year” in the\nreproduction. Yet, we did not observe the same semantic\nmagnitude effect in other word pairs either in Experiment 1 or\n2. Overall, we did not find supporting evidence for magnitude\ninformation conveyed by language affecting subjective time\nestimates.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"time perception; language"}],"section":"Posters: Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5kj160r0","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Demet","middle_name":"","last_name":"Özer","name_suffix":"","institution":"Koc University","department":""},{"first_name":"Alexander","middle_name":"","last_name":"Kranjec","name_suffix":"","institution":"Duquesne University","department":""},{"first_name":"Fuat","middle_name":"","last_name":"Balcı","name_suffix":"","institution":"Koc University","department":""},{"first_name":"Tilbe","middle_name":"","last_name":"Göksun","name_suffix":"","institution":"Koc University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2017-01-01T21:00:00+03:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/27062/galley/16698/download/"}]}
