🐶 TIL: A #1920s #psychology #experiment asked people to match made-up words with shapes, and most agreed that "bouba" sounds round while "kiki" sounds spiky. Researchers in #Italy tested 70 dogs, playing the words over speakers while showing both shapes on screens. The #dogs looked more at the round shape during "bouba" and the spiky shape during "kiki." 👉 https://www.sciencealert.com/dogs-seem-to-agree-with-humans-that-bouba-is-round-and-kiki-is-spiky #science #boubakiki #language #research #animals #cognition #learning #education #animals #nature #behavior
