Spatial language as a window on representations of three-dimensional space

Kevin J Holmes et al. Behav Brain Sci. 2013 Oct.

Abstract

Recent research investigating the language–thought interface in the spatial domain points to representations of the horizontal and vertical dimensions that closely resemble those posited by Jeffery et al. However, the findings suggest that such representations, rather than being tied to navigation, may instead reflect more general properties of the perception of space.
