Dear members of the ILCB,
This is already our 3rd newsletter – time flies! Which brings me right to the featured topic of our newsletter. Can embodied theories of language explain our understanding of abstract concepts, such as time? I’ll let you find out the answer in our featured figure of the month.
Just a gentle reminder, please fill out the project sheets for the GoNoGo evaluation before May 17th; you can find the details in the email I sent on the morning of May 6th.
These project sheets will enable us to synthesize and highlight the scientific advances that have been made thanks to the interdisciplinary dynamics of the ILCB, whether they are the result of direct support (ongoing projects, docs, postdocs, Crex, etc.) or, more generally, of the structuring effect of the ILCB. We may also use them to publish an illustrative appendix (a "4-yearbook") that could be given to the international jury of the GoNoGo evaluation as supplementary information.
A final word about our 2-day retreat, which will still take place on May 25-26. Due to the sanitary restrictions, we are unfortunately limited in the number of people that can be physically present at the LPL (< 35). Priority was thus given to the members of the directory board and the project teams. We will make sure to broadcast the plenary conferences and discussions and we truly hope to organize a big event with all of you once the Covid crisis and the GoNoGo evaluation are well behind us.
Best wishes,
Johannes |

How do people process words that refer to time? |
|
(A) Basic design for "yes" responses (words). Word position and contingency with mental line are manipulated. (B) Task design. A prime (“yesterday” or “tomorrow”) was followed by a real target word or pseudo-word; lexical decisions were made after the onset of the target by moving a pen on the trackpad towards the left or right. (C) Mean reaction times and mean error rates (D) as a function of response side (left vs. right) and verb tense (past vs. future). Inc: Incongruent, Cong: Congruent. Mean errors were normalized for tense for the graphical representation of the congruency effect. Error bars indicate within-participant standard errors.
It has been argued that time activates spatial representations organized on a left-to-right axis, a mental timeline, where past events would be to the left and future events to the right. If words that refer to past and future events are represented on the same left-to-right mental timeline, then the processing of such words should interfere with hand movements that go in the opposite direction (e.g., leftwards for future words). The data showed that space-time incongruency slowed down movements (i.e., reaction times) and significantly increased error rates. These results suggest automatic activation of a left-right mental timeline during word recognition, reinforcing the claim that abstract words related to time are grounded in movement through space.
