A growing body of recent research suggests that verbal categories, particularly labels, impact categorization and perception. These findings are commonly interpreted as demonstrating the involvement of language on cognition; however, whether these assumptions hold true for grammatical structures has yet to be investigated. In the present study, we investigated the extent to which linguistic information, namely, grammatical gender categories, structures cognition to subsequently influence categorical judgments and perception. In a nonverbal categorization task, French–English bilinguals and monolingual English speakers made gender‐associated judgments about a set of image pairs while event‐related potentials were recorded. The image sets were composed of an object paired with either a female or male face, wherein the object was manipulated for their conceptual gender relatedness and grammatical gender congruency to the sex of the following target face. The results showed that grammatical gender modulated the N1 and P2/VPP, as well as the N300 exclusively for the French–English bilinguals, indicating the inclusion of language in the mechanisms associated with attentional bias and categorization. In contrast, conceptual gender information impacted the monolingual English speakers in the later N300 time window given the absence of a comparable grammatical feature. Such effects of grammatical categories in the early perceptual stream have not been found before, and further provide grounds to suggest that language shapes perception.

Flexing Gender Perception: Brain Potentials 揭示了语法信息的认知渗透性。

最近越来越多的研究表明,语言类别,尤其是标签,会影响分类和感知。这些发现通常被解释为证明语言对认知的参与。然而,这些假设是否适用于语法结构还有待研究。在本研究中,我们调查了语言信息(即语法性别类别)构建认知以随后影响类别判断和感知的程度。在非语言分类任务中,法语-英语双语者和英语单语者对一组图像做出与性别相关的判断,同时记录事件相关电位。图像集由与女性或男性面部配对的对象组成,其中对象被操纵,因为它们的概念性别相关性和语法性别一致性与以下目标面孔的性别。结果表明,语法性别调节了 N1 和 P2/VPP,以及专门针对法英双语者的 N300,表明语言包含在与注意偏见和分类相关的机制中。相比之下,由于缺乏可比较的语法特征,概念性性别信息影响了 N300 后期时间窗口中的单语英语使用者。语法范畴在早期知觉流中的这种影响以前从未被发现,并进一步提供了语言塑造知觉的依据。结果表明,语法性别调节了 N1 和 P2/VPP,以及专门针对法英双语者的 N300,表明语言包含在与注意偏见和分类相关的机制中。相比之下,由于缺乏可比较的语法特征,概念性性别信息影响了 N300 后期时间窗口中的单语英语使用者。语法范畴在早期知觉流中的这种影响以前从未被发现,并进一步提供了语言塑造知觉的依据。结果表明,语法性别调节了 N1 和 P2/VPP,以及专门针对法英双语者的 N300,表明语言包含在与注意偏见和分类相关的机制中。相比之下,由于缺乏可比较的语法特征,概念性性别信息影响了 N300 后期时间窗口中的单语英语使用者。语法范畴在早期知觉流中的这种影响以前从未被发现,并进一步提供了语言塑造知觉的依据。鉴于缺乏可比的语法特征,概念性性别信息影响了 N300 后期时间窗口中的单语英语使用者。语法范畴在早期知觉流中的这种影响以前从未被发现,并进一步提供了语言塑造知觉的依据。鉴于缺乏可比的语法特征,概念性性别信息影响了 N300 后期时间窗口中的单语英语使用者。语法范畴在早期知觉流中的这种影响以前从未被发现,并进一步提供了语言塑造知觉的依据。
