The bouba–kiki effect (/ ˈ b uː b ə ˈ k iː k iː /) or takete–maluma phenomenon [1] [2] [3] is a non-arbitrary mental association between certain speech sounds and certain visual shapes. The most typical research finding is that people, when presented with nonsense words , tend to associate certain ones (like bouba and maluma ) with a ...

2020年7月6日 · 对kiki和bouba同时进行短窗傅立叶变换并提取为梅尔频谱(Mel spectrogram) 特征，观察后发现：1.kiki比bouba的基频要高(f0)，kiki比bouba的频谱质心(spectral centroid)更高。 结论： 这时候如果我们按照频谱质心相对位置给出mapping的话，kiki对应的是图一，bouba对应的是 …

2021年11月21日 · 他们在 25 种语言的 917 名使用者中测试了所谓的“bouba/kiki”效应，其中包括 10 种书写系统。 平均而言，超过 70% 的参与者将“bouba”与类似斑点的形状联系起来，将“kiki”与锐边形状联系起来。

2021年11月15日 · The bouba/kiki effect—the association of the nonce word bouba with a round shape and kiki with a spiky shape—is a type of correspondence between speech sounds and visual properties with potentially deep implications for the evolution of spoken language. However, there is debate over the robustness of the effect across cultures and the ...

2019年6月28日 · Ramachandran and Hubbard reasoned that because of the sharp form of the visual shape, subjects tended to map the name “kiki” onto the left figure, and because of the rounded auditory sound, subjects tended to map the name “bouba” onto the right figure (Ramachandran and Hubbard, 2001).

2022年2月2日 · Bo-NO-bouba-kiki: picture-word mapping but no spontaneous sound symbolic speech-shape mapping in a language trained bonobo Abstract Humans share the ability to intuitively map ‘sharp’ or ‘round’ pseudowords, such as ‘bouba’ versus ‘kiki’, to abstract edgy versus round shapes, respectively.

2021年11月28日 · What does Bouba/Kiki mean for the past and the future? But whatever our linguistic leanings now, the experiment has exciting implications for the origins of language.

2017年10月28日 · A: The Kiki-Bouba effect is a famous and influential example of this cross-modal correspondence. It is the pairing of sounds (words: Kiki & Bouba) to visual features (shapes: Jagged & Bulbous). But similarly, other senses also have a mapping of this sort. Touch can feel kiki with sand but bouba with cotton. Examples:

2022年2月9日 · In the present study, a language-competent bonobo completed a cross-modal matching-to-sample task in which he was asked to match spoken English words to pictures, as well as 'sharp' or 'round' pseudowords to shapes. …

2016年12月8日 · 观察以上两个形状，想像它们是现实世界中的两个物体，而你要给他们命名——一个要叫“波巴”（bouba），另一个叫“奇奇”（kiki）。 你会如何安排呢? 95%的·人会把左边那个...
