Our friend Sophie Molholm<\/a> coorganized recently a conference<\/a> in multisensory research.<\/a> Looking at the conference announcement I felt inspired to ask myself again to what extend rational cognitive instances do influence perception. An example: A traffic light in the western world is usually considered to have the colors red-yellow-green (or at least red and green (although the new LED lights look kind of bluish)). However I think it is important to note that in japaneese the green color for a traffic light – is not “MIDORI” (green), but “AOUI”, which is BLU! Did this make japanese people more prone to call something green-bluish “blue” instead of green? Doing experiments for this example might be difficult due to the ethnic pecularities, but I am sure there exist other examples and probably even studies on that subject. <\/p>\n here a little collection of randform posts related to the subject:<\/p>\n naming-gaming: <\/a> evolution of languages Traffic lite in Brietain Our friend Sophie Molholm coorganized recently a conference in multisensory research.
