Serial positioning biases are well documented and generally take a U-shaped form, with
better memory for first (primacy) and last items (recency). Here, we test the hypothesis that …

The robustness of effects indicating a spatial component associated with abstract reasoning
is tested. Judgements regarding hierarchical orderings tend to be faster and more accurate …

People can support abstract reasoning by using mental models with spatial simulations.
Such models are employed when people represent elements in terms of ordered …

With mental models based on relational information, the present research shows that the
semantics expressed by the relation can determine the structural properties of the …

Movement is generally conceived of as unfolding laterally in the writing direction that one is
socialized into. In 'Western'languages, this is a left-to-right bias contributing to an imbalance …

The present contribution argues that transitive reasoning, as exemplified in paradigms of
