Implicit Associations between Adverbs of Place and Actions in the Physical and Digital Space

Neuropsychological, behavioral, and neurophysiological evidence indicates that the coding of space as near and far depends on the involvement of different neuronal circuits. These circuits are recruited on the basis of functional parameters, not of metrical ones, reflecting a general distinction of...

description	Neuropsychological, behavioral, and neurophysiological evidence indicates that the coding of space as near and far depends on the involvement of different neuronal circuits. These circuits are recruited on the basis of functional parameters, not of metrical ones, reflecting a general distinction of human behavior, which alternatively attributes to the individual the role of agent or observer. Although much research in cognitive psychology was devoted to demonstrating that language and concepts are rooted in the sensorimotor system, no study has investigated the presence of implicit associations between different adverbs of place (<i>far</i> vs. <i>near</i>) and actions with different functional characteristics. Using a series of Implicit Association Test (IAT) experiments, we tested this possibility for both actions performed in physical space (<i>grasp</i> vs. <i>look at</i>) and those performed when using digital technology (<i>content</i> <i>generation</i> vs. <i>content</i> <i>consumption</i>). For both the physical and digital environments, the results showed an association between the adverb <i>near</i> and actions related to the role of agent, and between the adverb <i>far</i> and actions related to the role of observer. Present findings are the first experimental evidence of an implicit association between different adverbs of place and different actions and of the fact that adverbs of place also apply to the digital environment.
