When time is space: Evidence for a mental time line

M Bonato, M Zorzi, C Umiltà - Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2012 - Elsevier
Time and space are tightly linked in the physical word. Recently, several lines of evidence
have suggested that the mental representation of time might be spatial in nature. For …

Effect of aging on ERP components of cognitive control

J Kropotov, V Ponomarev, EP Tereshchenko… - Frontiers in aging …, 2016 - frontiersin.org

When time stands upright: STEARC effects along the vertical axis

M Dalmaso, Y Schnapper, M Vicovaro - Psychological Research, 2023 - Springer
According to the spatial–temporal association of response codes (STEARC) effect, time can

A Bayesian perspective on accumulation in the magnitude system

B Martin, M Wiener, V van Wassenhove - Scientific reports, 2017 - nature.com
Several theoretical and empirical work posit the existence of a common magnitude system in
the brain. Such a proposal implies that manipulating stimuli in one magnitude dimension (eg …

How time gets spatial: factors determining the stability and instability of the mental time line
