Abstract Synesthesia had been studied mainly as an early intersensory association in the brain, i.e., experience of this phenomenon synesthetes arises childhood, or perhaps earlier, and lasts over a lifespan. However, empirical research provides extensive evidence that synesthesia might be induced acquired at later age surface cognitive verbal forms — through synesthetic metaphors, including bright sounds loud colors . Although these examples demonstrate we are all synesthetes, least to some extent, question is whether musical expertise favors development certain types mappings prove meaningless outside context where they have produced consolidated. Participants were recruited from three university centers, Music ( n = 25), Linguistics Engineering rate, terms comprehensibility, seventy metaphors whose target domain sound As music group instructed on how capture nuances sounds, conceive verbalize such distinctly. Participants’ responses, which analyzed for statistical significance using Chi-square test independence, show group’s rating statistically differs other groups, indicating does lead emergence specific discourse.

This article discusses perspective and frame of reference in the metaphorical description mathematical concepts terms motions, gestures, embodied actions. When a concept is described metaphorically actions, or fictive motor system comes into play to ground understand that concept. Every motion, gesture, action involves reference. The flexibility taking allows people embody idea various ways. Based on findings past studies, it suggested graphical representation may activate those areas are involved production representation. supported by studies showing when observers look at painting handwritten letters, they simulate painter's writer's hand movements during writing. Likewise, can contribute grounding abstract concepts, such as functions, numbers, arithmetic operations.

Two Mechanisms for Understanding Mathematical Concepts in Terms of Fictive Motions DOI

Abstract This article discusses two mechanisms through which understanding static mathematical concepts (basic and more advanced concepts) in terms of fictive motions or motion events enhance our these concepts. It is suggested that at least are involved this enhancing process. The first mechanism enables us to employ both the motor system visual as contributing cognitive resources process concept. When one representation a concept transformed into another representation, there shift mode processing. facilitates employing new such systems. second mechanism, special form mental simulation, simulate formation concept, which, turn, makes it easier for understand structure properties

This article discusses the cognitive process of transforming one representation mathematical entities into another representation. process, which has been called metaphor , allows us to understand and embody a difficult-to-understand entity in terms an easy-to-understand entity. When is transformed representation, more resources such as visual motor systems can come play target Because their nature, some curves, are group representations, may have great strength. It suggested that directedness, straightness, length, thinness possible features determine degree strength curve. Another factor curve association between shape past experiences observer (and her/his prior knowledge). If individual had repetitive experience observing objects moving along certain curve, for her/him. In fact, it be said kind metonymic relationship formed shapes curves movement experiences.

In this article, we define motor strength as the extent to which a concept is associated with body movements and system that guides movements. We extend notion one of features visual representations some concepts discuss role in understanding have significant degree strength. It suggested when understood its literal sense, employment gestures processing depends on If metaphorical dependent base metaphor through understood. The relies affordances associations people’s past experiences. Because plays an essential grounding many abstract physical environment, can help psychologists acquire clearer how varying degrees are grounded environment.

Metaphors that describe an abstract concept in terms of a motion are widely used to enhance our understanding concepts. These metaphors not only daily language but also learning mathematics. As example, the process representation mathematical concept, graphical may play role mediatory domain. This could have high degree perceptual and action effector strength. is particularly case when gestures (as motion) depict representation. After looking at this we discuss strength base domains several concepts spatial Then, based on data Lancaster Sensorimotor Norms, it suggested degrees these important grounding physical environment.

Then, new set on right side moving object. The continues its movement it well. can pass any limit. words, there no impassable for -∞, similar process happens but leftward. Embodiment infinitely small quantities has basic similarity large quantities, although different some respects. We call iterative . It because setting passing repeated endlessly.
