When Left is ‘Right’: Motor fluency shapes abstract concepts

https://www.mpg.de/1213558/Motor_fluency_shapes_abstract_concepts

Unconsciously, right-handers associate good with the right side of space and bad with the left. But this association can be rapidly changed, according to a study published online March 9, 2011 in Psychological Science, by Daniel Casasanto (Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics) and Evangelia Chrysikou (University of Pennsylvania). Even a few minutes of using the left hand more fluently than the right can reverse right-handers’ judgments of good and bad, making them think that the left is the ‘right side’ of space. Conceptions of good and bad are rooted in people’s bodily experiences, and change when patterns of bodily experience change.
