The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Your highness: vertical positions as perceptual symbols of power. (2005, background): “The best experimental evidence comes from a set of ingenious experiments by Boroditsky and colleagues (Boroditsky, 2000, 2001; Boroditsky & Ramscar, 2002; Gentner, Imai, & Boroditsky, 2002).”
With the Future Behind Them: Convergent Evidence From Aymara Language and Gesture in the Crosslinguistic Comparison of Spatial Construals of Time (2006, background): “Psychologists have since given experimental evidence that real or represented physical motion scenarios can prime parallel construals of time—perhaps simply by activating the relevant source domain (Boroditsky, 2000; Boroditsky & Ramscar, 2002; Gentner, Imai, & Boroditsky, 2002; McGlone & Harding,”
A Connectionist Approach to Embodied Conceptual Metaphor (2010, background): “Like many other abstract, complex domains, there is more than one system of metaphor for talking and thinking about time (Clark, 1973; Lakoff and Johnson, 1980; Gentner et al., 2002).”
Movement direction or change in distance? Self- and object-related approach–avoidance motions ☆ (2008, background): “Indeed, there are two kinds of spatial metaphors for time: the egomoving metaphor as in ‘‘I am looking forward to the concert’’ and the time-moving metaphor as in ‘‘I will take the Math exam before the English exam’’, as Gentner, Imai, and Boroditsky (2002) explain.”
