{"pk":29685,"title":"Redder reds, redder purples, but not redder blues: color gradability knowledgeamong blind and sighted adults","subtitle":null,"abstract":"A key characteristic of color perception is that it both categorical and continuous. This is reflected in graded color ad-jective use. This red fruit is redder than the other red fruit sounds more natural than this red fruit is redder than the bluefruit (Kennedy & McNally, 2010). We examined the contribution of first-person sensory experience to color gradabilityunderstanding by working with congenitally blind adults. Blind (n=20) and sighted (n=15) adults rated the naturalness ofstatements describing two objects of the same color (two red mugs), dissimilar colors (red mug, blue mug) or similar col-ors (red mug, purple mug). Both groups judged redder as most natural for two red objects, least for objects with differentcolors (red/blue) and intermediate for objects with similar colors (red/purple). Color similarity had a larger effect for thesighted group. Understanding color gradability does not require first-person perception.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Poster Session 1","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1062s9nz","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Marina","middle_name":"","last_name":"Bedny","name_suffix":"","institution":"Johns Hopkins University","department":""},{"first_name":"Judy","middle_name":"","last_name":"Kim","name_suffix":"","institution":"Johns Hopkins University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2020-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/29685/galley/19542/download/"}]}
