Only when ignorant of the objects' intended functions did children tend to use perceptual features to create substantial numbers of names.
They point out that, for living things, many of the correlated perceptual features are associated with common biological functions (such as breathing, eating, and reproducing).
Perceptual features of unknown foreign languages as revealed by multidimensional scaling.
Then, we can move into the perceptual space representing the sound and use gestures to synthesise the sound from the perceptual features.
The closer the gesture perceptual features to the way auditors analyse musical sounds, the easier the gesture manipulation of sounds.
By contrast, a nonperceptual (or, symbolic) relation, such as sibling, is one where no such function over perceptual features is available.
Style recognition depends on emergent perceptual features that can be difficult to define clearly or even identify.
Of these names, 77 % of adults' were based on function, 10 % were based on perceptual features, and 13 % were ambiguous.
We used linear combination to link perceptual features, and we applied a nonlinear function to the linear combination to obtain the effectcontrol parameters.
For living things, information about biological function will be recovered from the linked, common perceptual features.
The perceptual features we use here are psychoacoustic parameters: pitch, loudness, timbre, using the brightness.
With both kinds of linguistic input, the experimenter pointed out to the child the same specific functional and perceptual features of the new object.
The next section briefly describes the conceptual framework developed for the perceptual investigation of electroacoustic music, comprising a series of perceptual features that contribute to the apprehension of electroacoustic structures.
Rather, these are event types that bear no direct perceptual features capable of breaking the "hair trigger" of the authors' proposed sensory driven hyperactive agency detector.
The training set was varied so that, for living things, common perceptual features co-occurred with common functional properties; for nonliving things, distinctive perceptual features co-occurred with distinctive functional properties.
Hence, the tendency to use functions rather than perceptual features as the basis for name innovations was quite consistent.
