    "Lakoff & Johnson (1999) argue that the understanding of positive  or negative concepts is structured around our sensorimotor experience  whereby “Happy is up” and “Sad is down”. Consistent with this, Meier and  Robinson (2004) found that positive evaluations of words gave faster  responses to spatial probes in an upper region of space compared to  lower regions of space, and vice versa for negative evaluations.  However, “She blew her top” or “He dropped his grudge” are both common  metaphors despite reversing the basic mapping. Using Meier and  Robinson’s (2004) paradigm, we generated “negative-up” and  “positive-down” phrases. Results showed a probe position x valence  interaction in the opposite direction to that found by Meier and  Robinson (2004). This suggests the relationship between direction and  valence is not necessarily a single mapping, as envisaged by Lakoff  & Johnson (1999)."
