Lateralized Whorf: Language influences perceptual decision in the right visual field (original) (raw)

This research explores the influence of language on perceptual decision-making, specifically regarding color perception in the right visual field (RVF). It examines how linguistic categories affect cognitive processing, demonstrating that the categorical perception induced by color term boundaries is stronger in the RVF, which is governed by the left hemisphere of the brain. Findings indicate that differences in color naming across languages have real implications for cognitive functions, supporting a more nuanced view of linguistic relativity.
