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).”
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).”
The Immersed Experiencer: Toward An Embodied Theory Of Language Comprehension (2003, background): “Visual-spatial information primes sentence processing (Boroditsky, 2000) and may interference with comprehension (Fincher-Kiefer, 2001).”
The Ethical Dangers of Deliberative Decision Making (2011, background): “Educational institutions also focus on the importance of deliberative thinking and pay “little attention to the development of intuitive understanding” (Bruner, 1960: 56).”
How deep are effects of language on thought? Time estimation in speakers of English, Indonesian, Greek, and Spanish (2004, methodology): “Boroditsky (2001) investigated whether speakers of English and Mandarin think differently about time. English typically describes time as horizontal, while Mandarin commonly uses vertical spatiotemporal metaphors. Boroditsky found that English speakers were faster to judge sentences about temporal s”
When is a linguistic metaphor a conceptual metaphor (2009, background): “…1994; H. Clark 1973; Evans 2004; Grady 1997; Lako# and Johnson 1980, 1999), some of which have been validated in psycholinguistic experiments (e.g. Boroditsky 2000, 2001; Torralbo, Santiago, and Lupiáñez 2006), gesture experiments (Casasanto 2008a; Núñez and Sweetser 2006), and low-level…”
Spatial representations activated during real-time comprehension of verbs (2003, background): “" Lakoff (1987) offers further examples of spatial metaphors in languages other than English, and Boroditsky (1999, 2000) has demonstrated that speakers of different languages employ different spatial metaphors when reasoning about events in time.”
Mathematical thinking of kindergarten boys and girls: similar achievement, different contributing processes (2010, background): “The general question of the necessity of language for human spatial orientation is still debated ( Boroditsky, 2000, 2003; Lurcat, 1976; Ratliff & Newcombe, 2007), although studies in preschool children have established a correlation between use of the linguistic terms ‘‘right’’ and ‘‘left’’, and f”
The New C Standard (Excerpted material) An Economic and Cultural Commentary (2008, neutral): “A study by Boroditsky[31] investigated subject’s selection of either the ego-moving or the time-moving frame of reference.”
The Roles of Body and Mind in Abstract Thought (2002, background): “On the one hand, they were waiting for something (or someone) to come to them, and so one might predict a time-moving bias (a bias to say the meeting was moved to Monday).”
Many Labs 3: Evaluating participant pool quality across the academic semester via replication (2016, background): “Metaphoric structuring: understanding time through spatialmetaphors (Boroditsky, 2000, study 1) Boroditsky (2000) demonstrated that priming participants with an ego-moving or object-moving frame of reference can influence their interpretation of an ambiguous temporal statement.”
Cyclicity in the structure of female baboon social networks (2009, background): “Human social bonds have strong temporal continuity and our use of space as a metaphor for time (Boroditsky 2000) may lead us to view monkey bonds anthropocentrically.”
Space for thinking (2009, background): “Boroditsky (2000) conducted some of the first behavioral tests of Conceptual Metaphor Theory.”
Flexible Conceptual Projection of Time Onto Spatial Frames of Reference (2006, background): “Boroditsky (2000) showed that it is possible to induce the adoption of one or another perspective by means of analogous spatial primes, suggesting some kind of automatic priming mechanism.”
