• A Connectionist Approach to Embodied Conceptual Metaphor (2010, background): “Several studies have demonstrated that culturally specific spatial cues, such as writing direction (Fuhrman and Boroditsky, 2010) and absolute spatial coordinate systems (Boroditsky and Gaby, 2010), can influence and structure how people think about the directional “flow” of time.”
• Culture as situated cognition: Cultural mindsets, cultural fluency, and meaning making (2011, background): “For example, in some societies but not others an erect stance cues honour (Ijzerman & Cohen, 2011), a middle finger cues hostility (Chandler & Schwarz, 2009), a ‘‘fishy’’ smell cues suspicion (Lee & Schwarz, 2011b), and the past is to one’s left (Fuhrman & Boroditsky, 2010).”
