By Elizabeth Wehling:
"Every single word evokes a frame in the recipient’s mind. This is true
for all language. The word 'salt', for instance, evokes a frame that
infers concepts like eating, food, taste, and even thirst. Moreover, our
brains simulate taste when processing the word -- that is, they
activate the same neural circuitry that is activated when we taste
something! Frames are the deep, conceptual patterns that store and
structure this world experience. They are invoked by language and images
and, in turn, guide our perception of whatever is the issue at hand.
Extensive behavioral research leaves no doubt -- it is frames, and not
facts per se, that our minds rely on for decision-making."
