IntroductionPrevious studies have shown that music training modulates adults’ categorical perception of Mandarin tones. However, the effect of music training on tone categorical perception ability in individuals in Chinese dialect areas remains unclear ...

Categorical perception of lexical tones based on acoustic-electric stimulation [PDF]
The effect of low-frequency acoustic input on the categorical perception of lexical tones was investigated with simulated electric-acoustic hearing. A synthesized T1-T2 (flat-rising) tone continuum of Mandarin monosyllables /i/ was used, and they were ...

The colour lexicon of the Serbian language - a study of dark blue and dark red colour categories Part 2: Categorical facilitation with Serbian colour terms [PDF]
Part 1 of this study (Jakovljev & Zdravković, 2018) isolated two frequent and salient non- BCTs in the Serbian language: teget ‘dark blue’ and bordo ‘dark red’, that segregate the blue and the red part of the colour space respectively.

Speech perception as categorization [PDF]
Speech perception (SP) most commonly refers to the perceptual mapping from the highly variable acoustic speech signal to a linguistic representation, whether it be phonemes, diphones, syllables, or words. This is an example of categorization, in that potentially discriminable speech sounds are assigned to functionally equivalent classes.

Categorical Local-Shape Perception [PDF]
How well do observers perceive the local shape of an object from its shaded image? This problem was addressed by first deriving a potential representation of local solid shape. The descriptor of local shape, called shape characteristic, provides a viewpoint-independent continuum between hyperbolic (saddle-shaped) and elliptic (egg-shaped) points.

Categorical Perception of p‐Values [PDF]
AbstractTraditional statistics instruction emphasizes a .05 significance level for hypothesis tests. Here, we investigate the consequences of this training for researchers’ mental representations of probabilities — whether .05 becomes a boundary, that is, a discontinuity of the mental number line, and alters their reasoning about p‐values.

Interaction of numerosity and time in prefrontal and parietal cortex [PDF]
It has been proposed that numerical and temporal information are processed by partially overlapping magnitude systems. Interactions across different magnitude domains could occur both at the level of perception and decision-making.

Categorical results do not imply categorical perception [PDF]
Categorical perception refers to the ability to discriminate between- but not within-category differences along a stimulus continuum. Although categorical perception was thought to be unique to speech, recent studies have yielded similar results with nonspeech continua.
