    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "The relationship between linguistic and nonlinguistic spatial categories has been characterized in terms of two contrastingpositions. One position suggests, naturally enough, a close correspondence between the two sets of categories. A secondposition suggests a dissociation, in which the boundaries between nonlinguistic categories function as the prototypes forlinguistic categories. The latter account predicts categorical perception (CP)enhanced discrimination at category bound-ariesat the horizontal and vertical axes, yet this prediction has not been tested directly. We tested it in three experiments.In perceptual and memory tasks, cross-axis locations were discriminated better than within-axis locations at both axes,indicating CP. These results suggest that the axes indeed serve as nonlinguistic category boundaries, consistent with thedissociation account. However, findings from a supplemental naming task revealed that these boundaries are also markedlinguistically, implying some correspondence between linguistic and nonlinguistic spatial categories and a potential rec-onciliation of the competing accounts.",
