Temperature perceptions as a ground for social proximity (2010, background): “This argument is underlined in research by Casasanto and Boroditsky (2008) who”
Construal Level Theory and Spatial Distance Implications for Mental Representation, Judgment, and Behavior (2011, background): “Indeed , the ability to process spatial information appears to be critical for cognitive develop - ment and functioning ( Boroditsky , 2000 ; Casasanto & Boroditsky , 2008 ) .”
Explaining Embodied Cognition Results (2012, background): “Subjects primed with the source domain of one of these metaphors move the meeting in the predicted direction, given the metaphorically ambiguous sentence (Boroditsky, 2000; Casasanto & Boroditsky, 2008).”
Neural reuse: A fundamental organizational principle of the brain (2010, neutral): “Asmuch as I appreciate Carruthers’ swift adoption of the redeployment hypothesis, I am troubled by some aspects of this argument. First, it appears to contain a false premise: Energetic constraints predict more compact or localized, not necessarily fewer brain systems. Second, it may be logically in”
Abstract concepts: sensory-motor grounding, metaphors, and beyond (2011, background): “Another study, by Casasanto and Boroditsky (2008), investigated the spatial representation of time.”
Evaluating Conceptual Metaphor Theory (2011, background): “…that suggests the presence of conceptual metaphors in many nonlinguistic domains, including psychophysical judgments about time and space (Casasanto & Boroditsky, 2008), gestural systems (Cienki & Mueller, (Johnson & Larsen, 2003; Zbikowski, 2002), dance (Gibbs, 2003), pictorial…”
Origins and Development of Generalized Magnitude Representation (2011, background): “Recent research suggests that pairings between, for example, spatial extent and time, may be asymmetric, with crossdimensional transfer applying more strongly from space to time than vice versa [48,108].”
The Common Currency of Psychological Distance (2013, background): “As a developmental consequence, people may structure their metaphorical understanding of other, indirect distances in spatial terms (Boroditsky, 2000; Casasanto & Boroditsky, 2008).”
Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Whorf? Crosslinguistic Differences in Temporal Language and Thought (2008, methodology): “In previous studies using a similar distance interference task with English speakers (Casasanto & Boroditsky, 2003, 2008), English-speaking participants were unable to ignore the distance that a line grew when estimating its duration, even though distance was irrelevant to the time estimation task.”
