Dedre Gentner, Mutsumi Imai, Lera Boroditsky 2002 Language and Cognitive Processes v17 n5 p537-565.

This paper provides a brief narrative description of the journal article, document, or resource. Three experiments investigated the psychological status of the 'ego-moving' and 'time-moving' metaphors by asking subjects to carry out temporal inferences stated in terms of spatial metaphors. Results provide evidence that people use spatial metaphors in temporal reasoning. Implications for the status of metaphoric systems are discussed.
