Figure 1

The four panels illustrate the four possible spatial-location X word-meaning combinations in each of the experiments. The four conditions are: a word of proximity located near the observer (a congruent condition, Panel A), a word of distance located near the observer (an incongruent condition, Panel B), a word of proximity located far from the observer (an incongruent condition, Panel C), and a word of distance located far from the observer (a congruent condition, Panel D). The actual stimuli were color photographs and not drawings. The present illustration demonstrates words related to hypotheticality – “sure” denotes proximity in that domain, and “maybe” denotes distance. These words were used in Experiments 6 and 12.
