[edit] Description

English: In a psychological experiment first designed by Wolfgang Köhler, people are asked to choose which of these shapes is named Booba and which is named Kiki. 95% to 98% of people choose Kiki for the orange angular shape and Booba for the purple rounded shape.
It is thought that this has implications for language development, in that the naming of objects is not completely arbitrary. The rounded shape may most commonly be named Booba because the mouth makes a more rounded shape to produce that sound. Similarly a more taut, angular mouth shape is needed to make the sound Kiki. The sounds of a "K" are harder and more forceful than those of a "B", as well.
Note also that, in the Roman alphabet, the angular shape mimics the angular letters K and I, while the rounded shape mimics the rounded letters B and O.
The kiki visual shape has a sharp inflection and the sound ‘kiki’ represented in your auditory cortex, in the hearing centers of your brain, also has a sharp sudden inflection. Your brain performs a cross-modal synesthetic abstraction, recognizing that common property of jaggedness, extracting it, and so reaching the conclusion that they are both kiki.V. S. Ramachandran.


Español: En un experimento psicológico ideado por Wolfgang Köhler, se pide al sujeto que diga cuál de estas figuras se llama Booba y cuál Kiki. Del 95% al 98% de la gente le asigna el nombre Kiki a la figura angular naranja y Booba a la figura redondeada violeta. Se piensa que esto tiene implicaciones en el desarrollo del lenguaje; es decir, que el mecanismo de poner nombres a los objetos no es totalmente arbitrario. Otra explicación sería que la forma redondeada suele recibir el nombre de Booba porque los labios forman una figura redondeada para producir el sonido. En cambio, los labios forman una figura más angulosa al pronunciar Kiki. Además, el sonido de las "K" es más forzado que el de las "B". Por otra parte, en el alfabeto romano, las letras B, o y a tienen una forma más redondeada que K e i.
