image schemata Flashcards
image schemata
-recurring, dynamic pattern of our perceptual interactions and motor programs that gives coherence to our experience
-gestalt structures consisting of parts standing in relations and organized into unified wholes
-emerge first as a structure of bodily interaction but then used at a more abstract level
dynamicity
flexible so that in can be modified to fit many similar but different situations that manifest an underlying structure
1.perceptual image schema
- bodily experience that leads to the formation of image schemas
2.structured elements
3.the basic logic of the schema
4.the conceptual underlying metaphor

natural force
emotion causes the self to respond to emotion and self respond to it in a passive way (wind)
- forces in the mind
=the description of an event in terms of force dynamics involves:
force entities (agonist, antagonist), intrinsic force tendencies (towards action and rest), resultant force interaction, balance of strenght (stronger, weaker)
physical force
magnetic, electric, gravitational, mechanic
physiological force
self doesnt want emotion, desire wants to cause self to want emotion (food)
