  1. ncbi Are things that are hard to physically move also hard to imagine moving?
    Stephen J Flusberg
    Department of Psychology, 450 Serra Mall, Bldg 420, Stanford, CA 94305, USA
    Psychon Bull Rev 18:158-64. 2011
    ..These results reveal a striking constraint imposed by our real-world motor experiences on mental imagery, and also demonstrate a way that we can overcome such constraints...
  2. ncbi Metaphoric structuring: understanding time through spatial metaphors
    L Boroditsky
    Department of Psychology, Stanford University, CA 94305 2130, USA
    Cognition 75:1-28. 2000
    ..These findings provide some of the first empirical evidence for Metaphoric Structuring. It appears that abstract domains such as time are indeed shaped by metaphorical mappings from more concrete and experiential domains such as space...
  3. ncbi Does language shape thought? Mandarin and English speakers' conceptions of time
    L Boroditsky
    Department of Psychology, Stanford University, CA 94305 2130, USA
    Cogn Psychol 43:1-22. 2001
    ..g., how one tends to think about time) but does not entirely determine one's thinking in the strong Whorfian sense...
  4. ncbi Comparison and the development of knowledge
    Lera Boroditsky
    Stanford University, Jordan Hall, Bldg 420, Stanford, CA 94305 2130, USA
    Cognition 102:118-28. 2007
    ..This suggests that comparison may play a special role in partitioning bits of experience into categories, sharpening categorical boundaries, and otherwise helping us create conceptual structure above and beyond that offered by the world...
  5. ncbi Do English and Mandarin speakers think about time differently?
    Lera Boroditsky
    Stanford University, Jordan Hall, Bldg 420, 450 Serra Mall, Stanford, CA 94305 2130, USA
    Cognition 118:123-9. 2011
    ..As predicted by patterns in language, Mandarin speakers are more likely than English speakers to think about time vertically (with earlier time-points above and later time-points below)...
  6. ncbi Remembrances of times East: absolute spatial representations of time in an Australian aboriginal community
    Lera Boroditsky
    Department of Psychology, Stanford University, Jordan Hall, Bldg 420, Stanford, CA 94305, USA
    Psychol Sci 21:1635-9. 2010
    ..The results demonstrate that conceptions of even such fundamental domains as time can differ dramatically across cultures...
  7. ncbi Visual motion aftereffect from understanding motion language
    Alexia Toskos Dils
    Department of Psychology, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305, USA
    Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 107:16396-400. 2010
    ..Further, the results reveal an intriguing link between the vividness of mental imagery and the nature of the processes and representations involved in language understanding...
  8. ncbi A motion aftereffect from visual imagery of motion
    Jonathan Winawer
    Department of Psychology, Stanford University, 450 Serra Mall, Stanford, CA 94305, United States
    Cognition 114:276-84. 2010
    ..Even in the absence of any visual stimuli, people can selectively recruit specific low-level sensory neurons through mental imagery...
  9. ncbi A motion aftereffect from still photographs depicting motion
    Jonathan Winawer
    Stanford University, Psychology Department, Stanford, CA 94305, USA
    Psychol Sci 19:276-83. 2008
    ..The transfer of adaptation from motion depicted in photographs to real motion demonstrates that the perception of implied motion activates direction-selective circuits that are also involved in processing real motion...
  10. ncbi Time in the mind: using space to think about time
    Daniel Casasanto
    Department of Psychology, Jordan Hall, Bldg 420, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305, USA
    Cognition 106:579-93. 2008
    ..Results suggest that our mental representations of things we can never see or touch may be built, in part, out of representations of physical experiences in perception and motor action...
  11. ncbi The roles of body and mind in abstract thought
    Lera Boroditsky
    Department of Brain and Cognitive Science, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge 02139, USA
    Psychol Sci 13:185-9. 2002
    ..Further, our results suggest that it is not sensorimotor spatial experience per se that influences people's thinking about time, but rather people's representations of and thinking about their spatial experience...
