“…Based on what was mentioned above, an extended definition of motor strength of a concept is introduced here ( Khatin-Zadeh et al, 2022b , 2023b ). Specifically, motor strength of a concept is the extent to which the concept is associated with motion and body movement.…”

In this article, we define motor strength as the extent to which a concept is associated with body movements and the motor system that guides body movements. We extend this notion to one of the features of visual representations of some concepts and discuss the role of the motor system in understanding concepts and visual representations that have a significant degree of motor strength. It is suggested that when a concept is understood in its literal sense, the employment of the motor system and gestures in processing that concept depends on its degree of motor strength. If a concept is understood in its metaphorical sense, the employment of the motor system and gestures is dependent on the degree of motor strength of the base of the metaphor through which that concept is understood. The degree of motor strength of a concept relies on its motor affordances and its associations with people’s past experiences. Because the motor system plays an essential role in the grounding of many abstract concepts in the physical environment, the notion of motor strength can help psychologists acquire a clearer understanding of how concepts with varying degrees of motor strength are grounded in the physical environment.

“…Uso de software: en las dos asignaturas se implementan softwares en línea como Symbolab, WolframAlpha y calculadoras online (principalmente las disponibles en OnlineMSchool y GeoGebra). La puesta en práctica combinada potencia dimensiones del aprendizaje: apoyar los procesos de visualización, conjeturación y comprensión (Arcavi, 2003;Khatin-Zadeh et al, 2023;Ruiz et al, 2019), agilizar y simplificar los procesos rutinarios con robustez matemática, verificar resultados, y asistir la conceptualización de los objetos de estudio (Cuicas et al, 2007;Muhammad et al, 2023).…”

Ante los desafíos disciplinares, pedagógicos, de políticas públicas e institucionales que se afrontan en el diseño de asignaturas, el objetivo de este artículo es el de proponer un modelo conceptual para los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje de las matemáticas universitarias que favorezca el mejoramiento del nivel de desempeño académico mediante una combinación de atributos de didáctica, pedagogía y disciplina. La metodología cualitativa contempló cuatro fases: análisis de co-ocurrencia de palabras clave y revisión integradora de literatura, análisis de políticas públicas, formulación de un modelo conceptual, y su primera aplicación. Para analizar los resultados se estableció en una primera versión, un modelo conceptual para el aprendizaje y la enseñanza de matemáticas universitarias basado en un diagrama hexagonal de clúster que consideró dos ejes. Las apreciaciones tempranas muestran aceptación y la oportunidad de la evaluación del efecto del modelo y el diseño de indicadores apropiados.

“…In simpler terms, mental representation of abstract concepts depends on bodily states and experiences (Lakoff & Johnson, 1980). A prototype of such embodied construal is the spatial substratum of temporal conceptualization (Bender & Beller, 2014;Boroditsky, 2000;Casasanto & Boroditsky, 2008;Moore, 2017) that finds universal prevalence (Khatin-Zadeh et al, 2023). Linguistically, for example, Mandarin Chinese and English rely on two quotidian spatial metaphors to conceptualize the movement of temporal events in relation to the experiencer (i.e., the deictic time).…”

Spice up the moment: The influence of spicy taste on people's metaphorical perspectives on time

Embodied cognition contends that sensorimotor experiences undergird cognitive processes. Three embodied cross-domain metaphorical mappings constitute quintessential illustrations: spatial navigation and orientation underpin the conceptualization of time and emotion and gustatory sensation underlies the formulation of emotion. Threading together these strands of insights, the present research consisted of three studies explored the potential influence of spicy taste on people's metaphorical perspectives on time. The results revealed a positive correlation between spicy taste and the ego-moving metaphor for time such that individuals who enjoyed spicy taste (Study 1) and who consumed spicy (vs. salty) snack (Study 2) exhibited a predilection for the ego-moving perspective when cognizing a temporally ambiguous event. Because both spicy taste and the ego-moving metaphor are associated with anger and approach motivation, the latter two were postulated to be related to the novel taste-time relationship. Corroborative evidence for the hypothesis was found, which indicated that spicy (vs. salty) intake elicited significantly stronger anger toward and significantly greater approach-motivated perception of a rescheduled temporal event (Study 3). Taken together, the current findings demonstrate that spicy taste may play a role in people's perspectives on the movement of events in time and highlight the involved embodied interrelation between language, emotion, and cognition.
