This paper attempts to answer a threefold question: from what kind of cues gender can reliably be assigned to French nouns? How the usage of these sublexical cues is acquired by children? What kind of computational models could account for the human data? We conducted an experiment with 73 1 and 2 grade children to assess their knowledge about gender information associated with suffixes using a...

Sound symbolism is the non-arbitrary association of sound and meaning. Experiment 1 demonstrates that sound symbolic associations facilitate the online processing of male and female voices when the target words contain the vowels /A/ and /i/ for male and female voices, respectively, when listeners are engaged in a speeded gender identification task. Experiment 2 reveals that when listeners are ...

We are investigating gender HCI issues in problemsolving software, using quantitative and qualitative empirical methods. Our research approach uses formative work to understand the existence and attributes of gender-relevant design features, based on which we then design and implement new features in our research prototype. Finally, we perform summative empirical work to evaluate effectiveness.
