“These experiments demonstrate the conceptual synesthesia connecting our ideas of the concrete experience of space and the abstract experience of time.

Experiencing one-indeed, merely thinking about one-influences our experience of and thoughts about the other, just as the theory of embodied cognition suggests.”
