The multidimensional representational space of observed socio-affective touch experiences
Observed touch interactions provide useful information on how others communicate with the external world. Previous studies revealed shared neural circuits between the direct experience and the passive observation of simple touch, such as being stroked/slapped. Here, we investigate the complexity of the neural representations underlying the understanding of others' socio-affective touch interact...
متن کاملAre there representational shifts during category learning?
Early theories of categorization assumed that either rules, or prototypes, or exemplars were exclusively used to mentally represent categories of objects. More recently, hybrid theories of categorization have been proposed that variously combine these different forms of category representation. Our research addressed the question of whether there are representational shifts during category lear...
متن کاملSynesthetic color experiences influence memory.
We describe the extraordinary memory of C, a 21-year-old student who experiences synesthetic colors (i.e., photisms) when she sees, hears, or thinks of digits. Using three matrices of 50 digits, we tested C and 7 nonsynesthetes to evaluate whether C's synesthetic photisms influence her memory for digits. One matrix consisted of black digits, whereas the other two matrices consisted of digits th...
متن کاملColor Categories Are Not Arbitrary Color Categories Are Not Arbitrary
1. Challenges to the Universals and Evolution theory of basic color term naming A theory of basic color term meanings based on the observation of semantic universals and evolutionary regularity in the naming of colors across languages was proposed by Berlin and Kay (1969). This model has undergone numerous revisions. I will refer to the various versions collectively as the UE model. A constant ...
متن کاملShared experiences are amplified.
In two studies, we found that sharing an experience with another person, without communicating, amplifies one's experience. Both pleasant and unpleasant experiences were more intense when shared. In Study 1, participants tasted pleasant chocolate. They judged the chocolate to be more likeable and flavorful when they tasted it at the same time that another person did than when that other person ...
