Question

Study 1 from previous flashcard - found Participants' responses were significantly faster and more accurate when the response options belonged to different color categories than when they were from the same color category

The linguistic determinism hypothesis suggests that CP of color is a consequence of language. Native speakers become attuned to the cross-category differences that are defined by the color names in their language and less attentive to the within-category differences.
Study 2 sought to replicate Study 1 with Berinmo speakers. The Berinmo language does not have separate color names for blue and green but distinguishes between nol and wor
A follow-up study compares the perceptual discrimination performance of Berinmo speakers and native English speakers. What does the linguistic determinism hypothesis predict? Compared to the perceptual discrimination performance of native English speakers, performance of the Berinmo speakers will be:
A. equal on the nol-wor continuum and worse on the blue-green continuum.
B. equal on both the nol-wor continuum and the blue-green continuum.
C. worse on both the nol-wor continuum and the blue-green continuum.
D. worse on the nol-wor continuum and better on the blue-green continuum.

Answer 1

The linguistic determinism hypothesis predicts that Berinmo speakers will show worse performance on the nol-wor continuum and better performance on the blue-green continuum compared to native English speakers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The linguistic determinism hypothesis predicts that the perceptual discrimination performance of Berinmo speakers will be worse on the nol-wor continuum and better on the blue-green continuum compared to the perceptual discrimination performance of native English speakers. This is because Berinmo language does not have separate color names for blue and green and distinguishes between nol and wor. According to the linguistic determinism hypothesis, the language spoken by individuals shapes their perception and categorization of colors.
