opgave 3Tekst 3 Figurative speech

De volgende vier alinea’s kwamen oorspronkelijk na alinea 1 maar zijn uit
de tekst weggehaald (zie stippellijntjes in de tekst).
a A study published in January in PLOS ONE examined how reading
different metaphors ─ “crime is a virus” and “crime is a beast” ─
affected participants’ reasoning when choosing solutions to a city’s
crime problem. Those who read the beast metaphor were more likely
to opt for a direct approach emphasizing enforcement, whereas the
virus metaphor elicited a preference for a systemic, reform-focused
solution. A follow-up survey indicated that many participants did not
remember the metaphor they read, and none thought a metaphor
could have influenced their reasoning.
b “People don’t consciously ponder the ways in which crime is like a
virus or beast,” says one of the study’s authors, Paul Thibodeau, who
is now a psychology professor at Oberlin College. “Instead metaphors
subtly structure the way they understand the issue being described.”
c Previous brain-imaging research has shown that interpreting
metaphors requires a variety of areas on both sides of the brain,
compared with literal language, which is processed in known language
areas in the left hemisphere.
d Scientists do not yet know how exactly this pattern affects reasoning,
but they suspect that the brain triggers related concepts when
processing a metaphor’s meaning. Thibodeau recommends giving
more thought to the metaphors you use and hear, especially when the
stakes are high. “Ask in what ways does this metaphor seem apt and
in what ways does this metaphor mislead,” he says. Our decisions
may become sounder as a result.
