文摘
- •
We studied spatial representations evoked by words connoting up/down directions.
- •
Spatial words induce vertical perturbations in horizontal computer mouse movements.
- •
These effects require attention to spatial meaning, or trials with up/down responses.
- •
Spatial representations are not automatically evoked during word reading.
- •
Evocation of spatial representations by words depends strongly on task requirements.
