This study examined the electrophysiological bases of the effect of language on color perception. In a visual search task, a target was presented to the left or right visual field. The target color was either from the same category as a set of distractors (within-category condition) or from a different category (between-category condition). For both category conditions, the targets elicited a clear N2pc (N2-posterior-contralateral) component in the event-related potential (ERP) in the contralateral hemisphere. In the left hemisphere only, the N2pc amplitude for the between-category condition was larger than that for the within-category condition. These results indicate that the N2pc could be used as an index to describe the lateralization effect of language on color perception.
本研究考察了语言对颜色感知影响的电生理基础。在一项视觉搜索任务中,向左侧或右侧视野呈现一个目标。目标颜色要么与一组干扰物属于同一类别(类别内条件),要么属于不同类别(类别间条件)。对于这两种类别条件,目标在对侧半球的事件相关电位(ERP)中均引发了清晰的N2pc(N2-后部-对侧)成分。仅在左半球,类别间条件下的N2pc振幅大于类别内条件下的。这些结果表明,N2pc可作为描述语言对颜色感知的偏侧化效应的一个指标。
