The present study aims to investigate whether words with economic meaningrelated to loss (e.g., unemployment) and gain (e.g., salary) are represented along aspatial dimension, in line with the evidence provided by the SNARC effect literature.Results indicate that participants have a better performance when responding with theleft key to loss-words and with the right key to gain-words, respectively. This effect hasbeen found, though, only when the loss/gain discrimination was salient for the taskthat participants were to perform. Taken together, these data support the idea that loss/gain concepts are associated to small/large numerical magnitudes, as it is for numbers,and placed along the left/right side of a mental number line.
