SQUARE BANANAS, BLUE HORSES: THE RELATIVE WEIGHT OF SHAPE AND COLOR IN CONCEPT RECOGNITION AND REPRESENTATION

Square bananas, blue horses: The relative weight of shape and color in concept recognition and representation

The present study investigates the role that shape and color play in the representation of animate (i.e.animals) and inanimate manipulable entities (i.e.fruits), and how the importance of these features is modulated by different tasks.Across three experiments participants were shown either images of entities (e.g., a sheep or a pineapple) or images
