irreversability

• “What is perhaps the most ominous of the findings is the apparent irreversability of the impairment produced in episodic memory personal memories of events and instances, and possibly also attention.”

  Mind Hacks: Through the k-hole

• “The question we have to ask, then, is can structure mapping, the most prominent comparison theory, account for the irreversability?”

  Metaphor IV: The Reckoning

• “Since the categorization theory now involves comparison, and since the categorization aspect itself is unintuitive, if we can come up with a comparison theory of metaphor that can explain this irreversability, then we can do away with the categorization theory altogether.”

  Metaphor IV: The Reckoning

• “Once we've shown that a comparison theory can account for the irreversability of metaphor, we no longer need to posit a categorization phase in metaphor comprehension.”

  Metaphor IV: The Reckoning

• “To answer it, we first have to determine when the irreversability arises.”

  Metaphor IV: The Reckoning

• “This would in turn be evidence that the structure mapping theory can account for the irreversability of metaphors, thus rendering superflous the categorization phase in the attributive categorization theory.”

  Metaphor IV: The Reckoning

• “This irreversability is not captured by comparison theories of metaphor, according to Glucksberg, and the failure to do so demands a new approach to metaphor.”

  Metaphor III: Metaphor Is Categorization

• “The categorization aspect of the theory mainly serves the purpose of creating the irreversability of the metaphor.”

  Metaphor III: Metaphor Is Categorization

• “The purpose of this process seems to be to explain the irreversability of metaphorical statements.”
