Categorical perception of gender: No evidence for unfamiliar faces
We investigated whether male and female faces are discrete categories at the perceptual level. We created artificial gender continua between male and female faces using a 3D-morphing algorithm and used classical categorization and discrimination tasks to investigate categorical perception of gender. In Experiments 1 and 3, 3D morphs were computed between male and female faces. The results of th...
متن کاملCategorical perception.
Categorical perception (CP) is the phenomenon by which the categories possessed by an observer influences the observers' perception. Experimentally, CP is revealed when an observer's ability to make perceptual discriminations between things is better when those things belong to different categories rather than the same category, controlling for the physical difference between the things. We con...
متن کاملCategorical results do not imply categorical perception.
Categorical perception refers to the ability to discriminate betweenbut 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. The results are usually interpreted in terms of categorical, as opposed to continuous, perception of both speech and nonspeech c...
متن کاملCategorical Speech Perception Revisited
CSP postulates perceptual grouping of an acoustic continuum into sharply delimited phonological categories with discrimination maxima across the identification boundaries. The experimental procedure was applied to F0 contours in a peak-shift and semantic contextualization paradigm in German and showed a categorical change from early to medial position in relation to the accented syllable. But i...
متن کاملColor Categorical Perception
Categorical perception (CP) occurs when discrimination of items that cross category boundaries is faster or more accurate than discrimination of exemplars from the same category. Categorical perception of color is observed when, for example, a green stimulus and a blue stimulus are more easily distinguished than two stimuli from the same color category (e.g., two different shades of green). Col...
