Placing abstract concepts in space: Quantity, time and emotional valence
Research has shown that abstract concepts are often conceptualized along horizontal and
vertical axes. However, there are mixed results concerning which axis is preferred for which …

Measuring spatial–numerical associations: Evidence for a purely conceptual link
Previous work on spatial–numerical association (SNAs) included either spatially distributed
stimuli or responses. This raises the possibility that the inferred spatial nature of number …
