  • Summary

    Chapter 4 takes a developmental perspective. It begins by looking at how embodied metaphors develop in infants and at how the ways in which they are experienced by infants and children differ from the ways in which they are experienced by adults. It then explores the ways in which they are experienced by older adults. It discusses work that has looked at how young children (aged 5–8) make use of embodied metaphor to reason about mathematics and music, and how their embodied metaphorical reasoning behaviour differs from that of adults.
