Space and time in the child's mind: metaphoric or ATOMic?
Space and time are intimately linked in the human mind, but different theories make different predictions about the nature of this relationship. Metaphor Theory (MT) predicts an asymmetric relationship between space and time. By contrast, A Theory of Magnitude (ATOM) does not predict any cross-dimensional asymmetry, since according to ATOM spatial and temporal extents are represented by a commo...
متن کاملTime in the mind: using space to think about time.
How do we construct abstract ideas like justice, mathematics, or time-travel? In this paper we investigate whether mental representations that result from physical experience underlie people's more abstract mental representations, using the domains of space and time as a testbed. People often talk about time using spatial language (e.g., a long vacation, a short concert). Do people also think a...
متن کاملSpacelike hypersurfaces with constant $S$ or $K$ in de Sitter space or anti-de Sitter space
Let $M^n$ be an $n(ngeq 3)$-dimensional complete connected and oriented spacelike hypersurface in a de Sitter space or an anti-de Sitter space, $S$ and $K$ be the squared norm of the second fundamental form and Gauss-Kronecker curvature of $M^n$. If $S$ or $K$ is constant, nonzero and $M^n$ has two distinct principal curvatures one of which is simple, we obtain some charact...
