人们怎么能想到他们从未见过或接触过的东西呢？我们证明，抽象的知识可以建立类比从更多的经验为基础的知识。例如，人们对抽象的九的理解是如此紧密地依赖于更多基于经验的空间领域，以至于当人们进行空中旅行或排队等候午餐时，他们也不知不觉地（反戏剧性地）改变了他们对时间的看法。此外，我们的研究结果表明，这不是感觉运动空间经验本身，影响人们对时间的思考，而是人们的表征和思考他们的空间经验。
How tire people able to think about things they, ha re never seen or touched? We demonstrate that abstract knowledge can be built analogically from more experience-based knowledge. People's understanding of the abstract domain of nine, for example, is so intimately dependent on the more experience-based domain of space that when people make an air journey or wait in a lunch line, they also unwittingly, (anti dramatically) change their thinking about time. Further, our results suggest that it is not sensorimotor spatial experience per se that influences people's thinking about time, but rather people's representations of and thinking about their spatial experience.
