There Is More Than Meets the Eye: The Dual Role of Perception in Shaping Color Lexicons

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Color's ultimate physical reality is continuous, and yet human beings “cut” this continuum into a rather small number of categories reflected in their languages’ color lexicon. There are striking cross‐linguistic differences in the color lexicon, which are primarily attributed to differences in communicative needs, but also striking ...

A Hierarchy of Crossmodal Odor Associations: Exploring the Role of Pleasantness and Edibility in Odor Crossmodal Associations Across the Senses

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Crossmodal associations with odors have the potential to aid in odor perception and language. In addition, identifying the dimensions that drive odor crossmodal associations may help understand the critical dimensions underlying odor perception more generally.

Goals Matter: Children's Exploration of Ambiguity is Sensitive to Contextual Value

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Children are voracious explorers. While this tendency is well established by both empirical and everyday evidence, accounts differ on whether exploration is goal‐directed or stimulus‐driven. In the current study, children (3‐ to 6‐year‐olds, n = 72) played with a novel toy that operated according to one of two possible causal rules and were ...
