'We regularly use space as a metaphor to talk about abstract concepts like self-esteem. This can be seen in phrases like “she held her head high with dignity” or “he bowed his head in shame”. We rely on spatial metaphors to provide a common, universally-understood metric for understanding [1]; they ground abstract concepts in the physical world [2]. If certain abstract concepts are grounded in spatial metaphors, then thinking of these concepts may activate a corresponding associated spatial simulation [3]. Consequently, this activation could affect the allocation of visual attention in a scene, an effect known as conceptual cueing [4]. In this paper, we use positively- and negatively-valenced self-esteem concepts as cues to orient attention, and investigate the conditions under which conceptual cueing occur'.
