The Ego-Moving Metaphor of Time Relies on Visual Experience: No Representation of Time Along the Sagittal Space in the Blind
- PsychologyJournal of experimental psychology. General
- 2018
It is suggested that normal visual development is crucial for representing time along the sagittal space by testing early-blind participants in a space–time motor congruity task requiring them to classify a series of words as referring to the past or the future by moving their hand backward or forward.

How Visual Experience and Task Context Modulate the Use of Internal and External Spatial Coordinate for Perception and Action
- PsychologyJournal of experimental psychology. Human perception and performance
- 2019
Comparing congenitally blind and sighted people to perform a tactile temporal order judgment and an auditory Simon task demonstrated that both sighted and blind individuals were able to activate internal and external information for perception and action.

Left-right mental timeline is robust to visuospatial and verbal interference
- PsychologyCogSci
- 2016
The robustness of American college students’ mental timeline to dual tasks that have interfered with spatial and verbal reasoning in prior work is tested, and their tendency to associate earlier events with the left side of space and laterEvents with the right remains under conditions of visuospatial and verbal interference.

Developmental vision determines the reference frame for the multisensory control of action

A pattern of results implies that developmental vision induces the default use of an external coordinate frame for multisensory action control; this facilitates not only visual but also auditory–manual control.

The results suggest that the spatial dimension of the numerical representation is not necessarily attributable to the visual modality and that the absence of vision does not preclude the elaboration of this representation for 1-digit and 2-digit numerosities.

It appears that people automatically access culturally specific spatial representations when making temporal judgments even in nonlinguistic tasks.

This study subjected to a direct test the reading hypothesis using an auditory task and demonstrated that the left-right mapping of time is not restricted to the visual modality and that the direction of reading accounts for the preferred directionality of the mental time line.
Mirror reading can reverse the flow of time.
- PsychologyJournal of experimental psychology. General

This work investigates whether experience reading can determine the direction and orientation of the mental timeline, independent of other cultural and linguistic factors, and proposes the hierarchical mental metaphors theory, according to which culturally conditioned mappings between space and time are specific instances of a more general mapping.
Time flies like an arrow: Space-time compatibility effects suggest the use of a mental timeline
- PsychologyPsychonomic bulletin & review
- 2008
Three experiments show compatibility effects between the dimensions of space (left-right) and time (earlier-later) and indicate that the concept of time does indeed evoke spatial associations that facilitate responses to targets at spatially compatible locations.
Prismatic Lenses Shift Time Perception
- PsychologyPsychological science
- 2009
It is confirmed that temporal intervals are represented as horizontally arranged in space, but also revealed that spatial modulation of time processing most likely occurs via cuing of spatial attention, and that spatial attention can influence the spatial coding of quantity in different dimensions.
