Experiment on Sound Symbolism

You will be asked to read and summarize a portion of a recent article about sound symbolism.

There is one very brief article for you to read:

Perfors, A. (2004). What's in a Name? The effect of sound symbolism on perception of facial attractiveness. Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society, 26. Retrieved from https://escholarship(dot)org/uc/item/9bq5v5c7

Pranav's comment: this is a very brief (1 page) article about an experiment examining whether the names assigned to pictures of people affected judgments of attractiveness.

After reading this article, please write a short (roughly 100 word) response that explains the following:

1) what was the research question of the experiment?

2) how did the researcher(s) go about testing it?

3) what did they say their results showed?

4) what do you think about the result?
