Speaking and remembering in one or two languages: bilingual vs. monolingual lexicalization and memory for motion events (2011, background): “…to take a closer look at the relationship between language and conceptualization, especially in the domain of color (Kay & Kempton, 1984) and more recently spatial cognition (e.g., Bloom, Peterson, Nadel, & Garrett, 1999; Gentner & Goldin-Meadow, 2003; Levinson, 2003; Levinson & Wilkins, 2006).”
Meaning and compositionality as statistical induction of categories and constraints (2009, background): “However, a growing body of evidence demonstrates a number of weaker ways in which language can shape thought (see Gentner and Goldin-Meadow (2003) for an overview).”
Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Whorf? Crosslinguistic Differences in Temporal Language and Thought (2008, background): “In this article, I will not review the sanguinary history of the Whorfian debate (see Gentner & Goldin-Meadow, 2003; Gumperz & Levinson, 1996).”
Russian blues reveal effects of language on color discrimination (2007, background): “Unlike Russian speakers, English speakers did not show any category advantage [F (1, 20) $ 0.”
Words as tools and the problem of abstract words meanings (2009, background): “…to new research lines: a. the proposal helps to highlight the variable and cultural dependency of our word use rather than its universal aspects (e.g. Davidoff, Davies & Robertson, 1999; Gentner & Goldin-Meadow, 2001; Gilbert, Regier, Kay, & Ivry, 2008; Malt, Sloman, Gennari, Shi, & Wang, 1999).”
Tell me why! Explanations support learning relational and causal structure (2021, background): “But language and culture play a critical role in learning these concepts and skills (Gentner & Christie, 2008; Lupyan, 2008)—“relational concepts are not simply given in the natural world: they are culturally and linguistically shaped” (Gentner, 2003).”
Learning Inference Rules with Neural TP-Reasoner (2020, background): “A lot of evidence has shown that relational structured representations are important for human cognition, e.g., (Goldin-Meadow and Gentner, 2003; Forbus et al., 2017; Crouse et al., 2018; Chen and Forbus, 2018; Chen et al., 2019; Lee et al., 2019).”
New Perspectives on Language and Thought (2012, background): “Other recent experimentation shows that labeling may help children solve spatial tasks by pointing to specific systems of spatial relations (Loewenstein & Gentner, 2003).”
