Chuquichambi and colleagues recently questioned the prevailing belief that a universal human visual preference exists for curved shapes and lines. Their comprehensive meta-analysis demonstrated that while curvature preference is widespread, it is not universally constant or invariant. By revisiting their dataset, we made an intriguing discovery: a negative relationship between curvature preference and an object's "affordances." Taking an embodiment perspective into account, we propose an explanation for this phenomenon, suggesting that the diminished curvature preference in objects with abundant affordances can be understood through the lens of embodied cognition.
楚奇查比和同事最近对一种普遍的观点提出质疑，即人类普遍偏爱曲线和直线。他们的综合元分析表明，尽管对曲线的偏好是普遍存在的，但它并不是普遍不变的。通过重新审视他们的数据，我们有了一个有趣的发现：曲率偏好与物体的“可及性”之间存在负相关关系。考虑到具身认知的角度，我们提出了一种对这种现象的解释，即具有丰富可及性的物体对曲率的偏好降低，可以通过具身认知的视角来理解。
