“…However, these studies typically use a wide set of general valence words (e.g., mosquito, love, hate, kiss, freedom, etc.). In contrast to the abstract concepts 'positive' and 'negative', general valence words might have other and potentially stronger experiential dimensions to rely on (e.g., feelings, perceptual simulations, hormones, facial muscular activation etc., see also : Neumann, Lozo, & Kunde, 2014). In that case, there would be no need to access spatial associations in order to understand general valence words.…”
