We review psychological research bearing on major theories of metaphor comprehension. A
broad survey of behavioral studies is coupled with findings from recent meta-analyses of …

We present a review of frequency effects in memory, accompanied by a theory of memory,
according to which the storage of new information in long-term memory (LTM) depletes a …

The human ability to flexibly reason using analogies with domain-general content depends
on mechanisms for identifying relations between concepts, and for mapping concepts and …

Although models of word meanings based on distributional semantics have proved effective
